Funny thing about assumptions.
I had gone on what I thought was a terrible binge eating escapade for about two weeks.
I was terrified when I went to weigh myself but It was the same weight as before.
I realized that although likely not healthy, I was eating one very big meal a day and that was pretty much it.
I didn’t look at all the factors.
It was bad science.
But my bad science didn’t bring down a nation’s economy
Hoping that by Easter, we can come out of our houses and still do social distancing.
We are not supposed to have hope we’re supposed to live in fear and trembling believing every single thing the news media and the “experts” tells us.
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.

In other words the projected US deaths from ebola were off by a factor of 14,000.
The UK covid model has already been revised DOWN by a factor of 25. The others based on it like www.covidactnow.org and the NYT model Hillary has been tweeting will be revised down too, or will look very stupid. Wait for it!
For the first time, the US Recovered number is greater than the deaths. Most of the countries listed in the top 13 have more Recovered than Deaths, some many, many times more Recovered than Dead. Only a few still show more Dead than Recovered. BTW, I discount any numbers from China and Iran.
I've never had a flu shot, and generally speaking I don't get colds or flus but I do remember the crappy feeling these can give me.
This Covid-19 outbreak scared me due to my age, my compromised health issues and the media hype. I've been practicing good hygiene to protect me from this virus since February.
Last week I felt crappy. Started with cramps in calf muscles, lower abdominal region and some slight chest pain. My body temp was slightly elevated by 1 degs intermittently. This lasted for 2.5 days.
On the 3rd day I woke up from long nap with my pillow case soaked from sweat and I felt great. Keep in mind I have regular hot flashes from the subscribed meds I'm on but but my pillow case has never been this wet.
Since then none of the virus symptoms listed above have returned. I can't get a test done here in Minnesota unless a temp over 100 degs. I ask myself, did I have it?
There was nothing faulty about the numbers, the fault was from those that did the numbers with a political agenda behind them.
Well, until you get rid of the data from all the test kits from China that give false results, you really have no data.
Testing new test kits made outside China against existing Chinese test kits pointed out the discrepancy and failure.
Virus modeling is very much like modeling from the Congressional Budget Office. Both assume that people do not change their behavior and both are always wrong.
