Proposals for Loosening the Lockdown

We are in Phase 2 here in our county (restaurants at 50% capacity, retail stores open, you can get together with 5 people outside your family, etc.) and since they started the new cases per day have gone from ~5-10 per day to ~20 per day. There have been a couple concentrated outbreaks at a couple manufacturing plants that skew the numbers up a bit so the increase in cases isn't due to community spread. Just more testing and contact tracing.

Hospitalizations haven't increased at all and most of the cases are in some younger demographics.

As RC pointed elsewhere, it seems to take a month or so for the infections to trickle up to the elderly.
