There is a very good chance that leaders in your state are basing their actions on this model, or one like it. Plan accordingly.

According to that chart, we can wipe this thing out by June if we stay on lockdown.

But the psych wards will be full :)

So without a 3 month lockdown we are doomed? Thanks for posting. Forewarned is forearmed. The model is built on assumptions on top of assumptions.

Every virus is unknown when new. If this model gains acceptance then we are in for yearly assaults on our liberties.

Says we have until March 28 to avoid catastrophe. Soundls like GW bs.

The devil is in the details. This outcome is NOT predictable. Too many variables for anyone. Stats of actual cases is built on very unreliable data. WAG or SWAG, it is muzzy math.

Here is a non-exhaustive list of contributors:

Our work has been validated and endorsed by a number of experts in epidemiology, public health, and medicine.

Our model is public.

So are our assumptions and definitions.

Are they using the same type computer models that they used to determine the coastal areas should have all been under water now?

“we can wipe this thing out by June”

The virus or the economy?

15k dead in ND worst case?? More dead in ND than in the entire world up to now? 11k dead with social distancing?

I did updates on the 2014 ebola outbreak on the thread linked below. Reality turned out to be way different than projections. The updates are the last posts on the thread. Reality was far different than projections and hysteria.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/3210773/posts

In other words the projected US deaths from ebola were off by a factor of 14,000.

Will be interesting to see how coronavirus turns out.

None of this “lockdown” crap is Constitutional.

The SCOTUS doesn’t have an army and would take months to hear and decide. By then,it will be moot

The crowds at Home Depot apparently have not gotten the isolation memo.

That model is an example of classic GIGO.

Yeah, but with Y2K, the entire US electric grid shut down. Remember.

Thousands of death from the invasion of the Killer Bees.

Experts said St. Louis encephalitis was going to kill thousands.

Plus, asteroids are heading our way.

What are we supposed to do? SHELTER IN PLACE or we are all doomed!

Problem with “shelter in place” “flatten the curve” and wuhan style total lockdown is that it really stretches out the misery over a much longer time frame. Whom does that benefit?

All the talking heads will make your head explode, predictions assumptions end of the world predictions, false and dangerous reports, misinformation

We need to know who hit the reset button. All will be clear when this subsides
