And then another rantThis does not seem like a good plan: "Sacramento County Announces New Mitigation Efforts COVID-19" https://t.co/5W3Dv4Lqr9 #COVID19 #Coronavirus - especially the plan to shift from containment to mitigation #Sacramento cc: @sacbee_news 1/n pic.twitter.com/dYUwEoUGb1— Jonathan Eisen (@phylogenomics) March 9, 2020
And this oneI think the Sacramento plan is problematic - if they are correct that it is time to ditch containment and move to mitigation then why is their mitigation plan among the weakest announced anywhere ?

And then Placer and Yolo County came out with their somewhat more aggressive planBut couldn't you do quarantine for some people but not necessarily for health care workers?— Jonathan Eisen (@phylogenomics) March 10, 2020
And moreSo #Yolo and #Placer counties have announced that they are also stopping containment efforts. I still think this is a bad idea but at least compared to #Sacramento county these counties are at least pushing the mitigation strategy a bit more strongly.

And thisThe Sacramento County plan is a joke - 1) containment is still useful in some cases, they should not ditch it 2) their plan for mitigation (reducing community spread) is the most limited of any place I have seen in the country -see https://t.co/ZZlO2NtmFX— Jonathan Eisen (@phylogenomics) March 11, 2020

Really great article by @edyong209 about some of the problems with the UK #covid19 strategy and communications; sadly some similar things have been going on here in #Sacramento area https://t.co/jtdVqkfPel
