(38,824 posts)My most recent number noodling has been around Ohio - trying to figure out how many cases a day we are likely to have when (1) I have to start teaching August 14 and (2) when the 130 bar exam students I'm working with are supposed to be sitting with 1870 of their closest friends taking the bar exam on September 9 & 10.

(39,179 posts)What's stuck in my mind for Ohio is around 14,000 cases by mid-August unless "dad" telling us that he will turn the car around if we don't strart wearing our masks works.
My impression is that it will have close to zero impact, "dad" will have to turn the car around - but it will be a week from now - and that will be too late to prevent Ohio from turning into Florida.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
