I was asked if my condo should open its gym.

Initial thoughts on loosening restrictions at Regency.


Since I am an Infectious Disease specialist the Manager of my Condo asked me my opinion 
about easing Covid19 restrictions especially with the gym
Dear Valerie,
You can share this with the whole community if you wish.

Greetings, 
I am Board Certified in Infectious Disease. 
I was asked to give my thoughts about easing the restrictions at Regency.

I say it is too soon.
As I was taught, "haste makes waste"'.

Our community is similar to a nursing home. 
Most of the COVID19 deaths come from nursing homes. 

Wait at least a month before you consider  less restrictions.  

It's not going so well for Florida re-opening. 



These numbers may seem low to you, but remember this is the tip of the iceberg.
There are many more asymptomatic COIVD19 cases that we are not aware of.




Above is from May 13.
Florida re-opening started May 4


You can see from the above the numbers are going up. 
Wait a month and revisit the issue when more data is available
