26. Take A 2nd Look At The Graph
Thu Sep 10, 2020, 08:20 PM
Sep 2020

Here's the IHME graph.
The full mask mandate line reads 284,000. This is your full mask coverage (universal mandate).
The line involving current situation is 405,000. No decrease in restrictions but no national mask mandate.
Easing of mandates is 595,000, which is what you said.
But, full mask & social distancing mandates is not 400k.
Not to suggest 284,000 is a good thing.
Basically, it's saying it WON'T be 284,000 because there isn't going to be a universal mask mandate.
The graph is interactive, so you touch one of the trend lines at the right edge, the 3 scenarios with numbers pop up.
