More like another month + extra days, but the report is taking the positive and counting from the expiration of current order and not from where we are in the calendar....

Eight cases is their criteria? Eight? We have 341 emergency ICU beds available. Why not zero then? The IMHE model suggests we will be well below maximum capacity by May 1st. At some point the economy has to start to be a priority. Why not one in 100,000 as a criteria?

I think this is a really bad idea. In the long run this will probably ruin a lot more smaller businesses, resulting in less tax revenue and possibly putting the economy in a bigger financial hole. When more people rely on unemployment, where is the money going to come from to pay out all of those people needing it?

Also Seattle's tourist season is approaching. I can imagine that's going to leave an even bigger gap financially. Already the homeless situation downtown is spiraling out of control. I predict that is only going to get far worse in the coming weeks.
