I assume a lot of the math complains are people that read until they found a number to dispute.
other complaints are ad hominem attacks without even touching the math - maybe for obvious reasons.
I read the article. One can quibble over any number of variables - but I don’t see folks extrapolating answers when they insert their own, because no matter what, the results are ominous.
change asymptomatic infections from 86% to something else.
change doubling time from 3 days to something else.
do the math.

I realized the contagion factor being reported on this thing by late jan/early feb was bad news and ended up expecting something like what we see (actually it is moving slower than I expected but it is happening otherwise).
china cracking their economy over this should have been a tell to anyone willing to pay attention. their actions were an end-of-the-world reaction by a country.
but I guess if we go by the FR version of Occam’s Razor, adversarial powers all shutting down their economies at great harm to their national interests over a virus is a sign that virus is.........a fraud!
Insane ain't it?
