COVID-19 Outbreak (Update: More than 2.9M cases and 132,313 deaths in US)
For a reminder, in south florida, schools were closed as of March 16th. Most businesses were partially closed that same week, then mostly shut down the week after. Around that time the beaches here were closed. It wasn't until April 1st, that the State as a whole had a stay at home order.
using Broward and Dade as the example, about 1-2 weeks after the schools closed, cases blew up, and peaked around 2-3 weeks after that. Or about 1-2 weeks after most businesses and stuff was closed. After that it has been a gradual decline, minus some bumpiness in the data.
Daily deaths in the state, peaked about 2 weeks after south florida closed schools, or a week after south florida mostly shut down.
This is the direct effect of doing what we did.
