MONITORING FUTURE HEALTH
As we have noted, we are still early in the course of the pandemic and even earlier in the course of the economic crisis spawned by the disease itself and by efforts to contain it. Every statistical measure available on the disease, as well as on the economy, has flaws in its timeliness, accuracy and breadth of applicability. History is informative but not necessarily indicative. Therefore, it is useful to consider what factors and indicators should be monitored to determine if the course of the disease and the economic crisis are conforming to the forecasts in this report or are varying to a significant degree in your particular area. Indicators to monitor include: COVID-19 AND CIVIC RESPONSE
National daily and cumulative infection totals and deaths State/county daily and cumulative infection totals and deaths Daily infection totals and deaths in areas that reduce restrictions earlier beginning three to four weeks after the change and for eight weeks thereafter (too soon to tell) Monitoring of daily infection totals and deaths in China and in Western Europe for the remainder of this year (so far so good) Monitoring of public statements, reports, orders and guidance issued by your state and local authorities, of the majority public reaction to them and of the majority public reaction to similar guidance or orders by other governmental leaders in counties and states where leadership is affiliated with the same party as that in your area Monitoring of significant outbreak clusters at major businesses in your local area or at comparable businesses in other areas (e.g. meatpacking plants, nursing homes, etc.) Careful monitoring as much as possible of your own employees and customers.
