It is my 5555th post today. I wanted it to be something useful & helpful

...because the health and safety of all of you mean a lot to me.

If you click the map it will show projections for your state, including how many days are left before point of no return for intervention to prevent hospital overload. Please take good care of yourself

There's no error on this operator'

Here's what happens when the link is clicked:

This site can’t provide a secure connection

covidactnow.org sent an invalid response.

Try running Windows Network Diagnostics.

Seems Safari does not like the link.

I’m using safari. Wonder if that’s why. Says it can’t establish a secure connection with the server.

Sorry people were so rude to you about it.

Point of no-return for intervention to prevent hospital overload:

March 25 -- March 30

According to this model, in my state social distancing still results in >70% infected and hospital overload by mid-April, but only 8% infection rate and no hospital overload with sheltering in place.

Sheltering in place seems like the only viable answer, and I suppose we can expect to see more orders come down from state and local governments as we near the point of no return. Some are already past it. I have to leave home a few times a week for medical reasons, but other than that, I'm always at home. I sure don't want to be in the hospital when that curve reaches its peak. That would be an ugly situation.

Yesterday we began shelter in place.
Hopefully people will pay attention to it.

but perhaps if you just go directly to the website of www.covidactnow.org you can find the charts for your states. I hope that helps, sorry.
