@stephenemm @scotgov I think it had solid rationale. I don’t think I have the expertise to say if it was good or not.
1. Positivity rate == how well do we have a handle on things. High means we don’t actually know what’s happening w/ spread.

@stephenemm @scotgov 2. Admission rate == a proxy for a true number of cases. As long as the hospital system is not overwhelmed, this is a good metric to see how many people are getting sick enough to merit being admitted and an early indicator for the potential run on the ICU beds.
@stephenemm @scotgov 3. ICU beds == absolute number to see if the hospital system can handle the worst that the virus is throwing at it. When we run out of beds, people stay in the ER, then people can’t get into the hospital at all == bat shit times.
@stephenemm @scotgov So for me, those three things at least had some rationale. Right metrics? Are there better metrics? The levels they assigned those metrics to merit what intervention? I dunno.
