Lol
Just because all the other models were wrong doesn’t mean this one is!
globull warming modelers again, sigh
All they seem to do is cause panic, distortion, disruption, fear, and economic damage.
Model schmodel...
Were all dead in 11, right?
Bullsh1t
And of course this terrifying report is couched in the typical weasel-word “could”... Well, Elvis “could” come back. Monkeys “could” fly out of my posterior. Crazy Uncle Joe “could” remember what he had for breakfast this morning... Ok, that last one might be a stretch.
Flatten the curve implied same number of cases over longer period of time (therefore not overwhelming the hospitals all at once)
Or they could not.
We REALLY should be afraid, because the early models were 100% correct with their apocalyptic predictions....
My g/f is super hot and could be a model.
She says eleventy billion will die of the rona if we don't elect Joe Biden.
Whose model ya gonna believe?
But nothing beats models.
Same folks doing Climate Change??
Is that the same model that predicted 2 million dead by now and bodies in the streets? Or another equally accurate screed?
So you “contract” the Chinese Chest Cold. Then you get better. Because it’s a chest cold. It’s not like you’re “contracting” AIDS or Hep-C. Elderly and vulnerable people need to protect themselves from this, just like the flu. But for the near totality of anyone else, it’s a nothing-burger. We’ve been had.
Well, if the actual mortality rate from coronavirus turns out to be as low as it is looking like it might be... (far less than seasonal flu) And if suicide rates (attempts and deaths) are really several higher now (and probably getting worse)... Then reopening everything and accepting a few additional deaths could result in a net savings of lives. There, see. We can use “could” too...
By my math: 97,794 deaths divided by 1,646,495 cases is a 0.0593 death rate if the numbers are correct. That leads to 296,976 deaths, or about triple the current number of deaths. Seems high to me, but that’s predicated on 5 million infections.
There are models showing it will be gone as well
I have a model that predicts 100% of cable news will reflect on this and ring its hands and Kozak will show up and and celebrate every grim thing and then be said when they dont materialize.
This is getting ridiculous
Throw enough ‘model crap numbers’ at the wall, eventually something will stick.
Yeah, riiiight.
Sorry, anyone taking this cr*p at face value should go into journalism because actual technical work is far, far, FAR beyond their meager liberal abilities.
