    There's good news emerging from NYC right now. It does appear that the rate is slowing.

    A lot of bad news in other places, but those are behind NYC so it'll get worse there before it gets better. Still, NYC slowing down is the best news we've had in this whole show. Embrace it.
    It doesn't feel that way but going forward we should start seeing a leveling off period. Death has increased by nearly 300 from yesterday.

    These are from old cases and people who have been on ventilators for at least a week though.

    sundays tend to have underreporting. last sunday they said 0 deaths and ducks posted about it all day monday. there were a little over 500 reported on saturday, its a safe bet sunday was also in the 500's, considering we are seeing that today as well

    on top of it, thats just for confirmed cases. we are still way behind on testing so the actual figures (and actual growth) are still fuzzy

    100s, 1000s? of New Yorkers turned out in a crowd to watch the USNS Comfort dock.

    I wonder if Trash told the Navy not to admit Puerto Ricans, just throw paper towels at them?

    When USNS hospital ship visited PR in '17, allowed only 6 PRs / day onto the ship

    He is NOT doing that.



    You're taking one tweet with one day of data on a graph. But he's looking at overall trends with multiple days of data to make his conclusions. He's also referencing others in his field who are doing the same. Look at his time line.

    This is why I keep telling you that you can't pull one piece of info out of context!

    There's a longer lag time for deaths and icu cases so those will peak after the initial infections do. I'm not even sure we're at a peak for the infections, but the rate is slowing over a few days. Before you can walk you have to crawl and this is crawling.

    You have zero clue whether the imperial model is right or wrong my dude. You disagreeing with it is like me telling aerospace engineers that their design sucks or telling Chip England that his method of teaching how to shoot sucks. You disagree with the top line estimates in that model because you don't want to believe them. That's not disagreement of substance.

    We'll never know if those estimates of that model were right because we actually did something and those were estimates for not doing anything, but that model was in large part what got people motivated to actually do . Why? Because the people who are experts agree with it.
    Yeah, and it's been shown that some aerospace engineers have tier designs than others.

    There's not a consensus expert opinion that model. If you want to argue from the "better safe than sorry" position, I would agree that marshalling out the scary numbers to get people to act was a good thing, but I'll never buy the 60/3 million dead scenario because that assumes a 4 percent mortality rate (from the Wuhan data). I find that figure highly unlikely because, even according to Ferguson and many experts themselves, the true number of mild/asymptomatic cases to severe cases is probably underestimated by quite a bit. We can crosscheck this idea with the Iceland study and an Italy study on top of that.

    No one else decided to test every single member of the lockdown community. The results immediately showed that 3 percent of all those tested were positive. “We did not realize at the time this was a huge number but we immediately were able to see that the majority of those who were positive did not have any symptoms”, said Cristani.

    I will flat out state I think the true CFR is below 1 percent (even if we let the virus run rampant), making the Imperial model implausible.

    lol, but no one cares what you flat out state because you're not an epidemiologist!

    The guy you just referenced above on the subject, however:

    Ford to build 50,000 ventilators in 100 days

    plans to continue producing 30,000 per month after that

    yeah. they have equated trump with conservatism, so betraying trump is akin to betraying their belief system and ideology. it's pretty wild
    yeah, that's quite the leap...

    then again, if you can believe in ghosts, I guess there's no stretch that's too far.

    Ish. I am right on the cusp where the mortality rate becomes non-trivial. (50)

    Because ever since I said I don't agree with the Imperial Model (omg 60 million/3 million dead!) while posting counterarguments to that model from other leading experts, you've been on me like a fly on . Then I call out the media for their weak interpretation of the facts (just raw numbers and a focus on NY or Italy. No further investigation into the variables), and once again, fly on .
    I think you're full of , true.

    Looks like motivated reasoning to me. Cherry picking, shameless appeals to authority, pseudologic, hasty generalization, threadbare speculation and misrepresenting of source material (like Manny just pointed out).

    You've got most of the classic symptoms.

    Fair enough. I posted this figure a week ago:

    NY: Current Covid-19 cases: 12,324, Tests performed: 45,000

    Texas: 31,296, Covid-19: 559, Tests performed: 6500. Prorated case number if Texas tested 45000: 3879
    Texas is at 35K total tests with 2800 confirmed. They seem to be on that prorated trajectory I estimated. This is over a week long trend. So still no reason to have a positive outlook for Texas (relative to what is happening in hard hit areas)? Your first issue with Texas looking comparatively good was that they weren't performing a useful number of daily tests. But they just performed 10K in a day, and the positive rate was encouraging. I mean the experts are allowed to estimate over 4 day trends, and this is a 7 day trend, so...

    This. We're still due for a big jump once we start testing everybody, versus just the extremely ill.

    The problem is his dip supporters hear 38 million, but not the correction. Fox News sure as won’t say anything about it. So they just think he’s right about it and that he owned that lib reporter.

    "I know South Korea better than anybody," Trump said when responding to the question from PBS NewsHour's Yamiche Alcindor. "It's a very tight — do you know how many people are in Seoul? Do you know how big the city of Seoul is? 38 million people. That's bigger than anything we have."

    Not sure what you're bent out of shape about or why you think I"m a doomsayer. I don't generally do predictions.
    Not bent out of shape. I think you're a doomsayer because you're quick on the draw to discount attempts to see light at the tunnel, even if they come at the cost of being truthful. That's all.

    2nd wave could be more brutal than 1st. Israeli intelligence seems to concurr

    fears that giving into the economic arguments in response to a temporary ebbing of coronavirus infection would bring forth a redoubled outbreak in April going into May. This second wave could be even more ferocious than the first. Signs of this second covid-19 assault moving in are visible in China, Taiwan and Singapore, who relaxed restrictions after successful efforts to contain the spread of the plague

    H Hanging over these debates is the fact that too little is known about the nature of coronavirus and its responses. The search for a remedy or vaccine may take years before one is certified for use and manufactured in sufficient quan y to beat a plague that knows no borders.

    https://www.debka.com/fears-of-redou...-yet-in-sight/
    where are you finding evidence of a "more ferocious" outbreak? From everything I've read, it's a small group who tested negative, released, and were tested positive again when being checked for other health issues. But most of them have been asymptomatic, not getting worse. It's possible that the "negative" test was an error. From the below article, it says testing in China is only accurate 30-50% of the time. So it shouldn't be a shock to see a few positive, negative, then positive again tests
