“He revised his models to reflect social distancing.

And under scathing rebuke from the Oxford team that essentially called his initial projections trash.”

Right, but you have all these stories out yesterday and today saying that the danger has been way over stated, they Oxford Study has caste a great shade on it.

Then you have stories that the Imperial College is back tracking, they have greatly revised their numbers and the UK has plenty of healthcare resources for this.

Dr. Birx comes out today and says UK has revised, it’s not 500,000, it’s 20,000, we need antibody test to explain the data we are seeing, there are either lots of asymptotic carriers (Oxford Study) or it’s simply not as transmissible as we had thought.

Then I find that Dr. Fergeson of Imperial College said that they had not revised, in fact it is probably more transmissible.

How does all of that get so confused by people who are the experts on this?

The deaths from an epidemic obey a standard distribution, right?

So when you stack up a bunch of standard distributions, what do you get?

“Why won’t they have plenty of ICU beds then?”

There is no shortage of ANY beds. Period. You’ve been gaslighted into thinking there is a shortage.

So, Trump’s top notch team isn’t so top notch after all. They should have caught that.

“the traders think the pandemic is all a hoax “

The traders think this pandemic is overblown. They are most likely comparing it to the flu numbers, car accident deaths and etc.

Once they see the virus fade away to pop up again the market will drop again. China is still not back on their feet. There are new waves of infections going through Asia.

“we need antibody test to explain the data we are seeing,”

Correct.

Because if half of everyone have already been exposed, all our efforts at social distancing are a waste.

IF half have already contracted the virus, open everything up and let ‘er rip.

But we must know FOR SURE.

“Their death rate will be lower”

Give it a week or two the death rates will start to climb. When a person goes on a ventilator they come off of it in a day or two. This will create build up/line for the ventilator.

“Give it a week or two the death rates will start to climb.”

Give it a day or two and the models and plans for mitigation will flip flop all over the place, you’ll wonder if 2 Trillion is way too much or way too little, then you’ll get a queasy feeling and wonder if we have truly stepped through the looking glass.

“there are either lots of asymptotic carriers”

asymptomatic

I do that too. I find myself correcting it on review. I have a CS and math background, so asymptotic is a word, just not the right one.

You might even have caught that from me on some earlier post I didn’t adequately proof. Sorry.

R0 of at least 1. I’ll keep my eyes peeled for further transmission. Thank you for your suppression efforts!
