Pandemic theory suggests that the same number of people will be infected if you do nothing or if you flatten the curve. All you do is spread the pandemic over a longer time frame, The "death rate" should also theoretically stay the same as well 1-2%, etc.
So no lives will be saved, UNLESS the health care system gets overloaded and people die because of inadequate care that otherwise would have lived. I'd like to see the stats of how many people that go into intensive care and are placed on ventilators live?
Here in mn, which is partially shut down, late last week we had 8 people in the hospital with covid, yesterday they said it was 10, and we have hundreds of hospitals. Nothing is goingThat info never comes out, usually something about patient confidentiality or whatever, but I agree its quite important. It appears there will be a problem in NYC, who knows where else. Even in hard hit areas outside NYC area it doesn't appear to be an issue yet.
Getting back to the topic here, the more you hear doctors the more it gets reinforced where they are coming from. I don't blame them for wanting to prevent any infections, hospitalizations or deaths, that's their job. But it has to be balanced out by the needs of society as a whole. I remember my econ prof 25 years ago said something I remember to this day. He said, "I have a nearly foolproof way of preventing traffic deaths. Just lower the speed limit to 5mph and strictly enforce it. Who's with me on this?" I couldn't put it any better than that. Follow what the doctors are saying and we're at the 5mph speed limit.
Just confined to church.soon after church is over, corona will be gone ???
"they'd close the country for a couple of years".... My take from this is, a 1% death rate is okay from this. Not sure where I stand. I think he has a point in some ways, but not completely. Then again I never filed bankruptcy 4 times. Hope he's right!
so NY is supposed to be peaking around easter and trump wants to open it all up...brilliant
You cant force people out of darkness, you can only show then the way. Self pity is a hard thing to overcome.Trump is talking about removing Federal mandates and orders. The governors of NY/NJ/CT will certainly leave controls in place if things don't improve a lot before then.
why notso NY is supposed to be peaking around easter and trump wants to open it all up...brilliant
Quite a few states had numbers drop today, fake news. We really need to separate NY,NJ cases from the rest of the coutry to see if these measures are working.Because everywhere else is going up as well.
Geometrically ( I believe its the correct term) increasing 20-25% a day
That means deaths are gonns be doubling every 3.5 days or so.
200 deaths will becoming 1600 death a day in two weeks.
Red States are still not taking this seriously enough
And god forbid it mutates into something stronger
NY didn't even do that.The number I saw, pretty much had almost every state (at least 40) with 20%+ increase
