Then where are your numbers?
It is simple to see where the numbers didn't add up. It only took you 3 months to begin to realize. But you never would have if I didn't tell you first. You're welcome. And I love that you are calling me a scientist.What are your real scientific numbers?
You claim to be a scientist when you can't do what you claim is simple science.
Then where are your numbers?
Stratify mortality by age and give me your comparison to flu
I would personally love to see the economy recovering as much as possible before the election, tbh, so Joe doesn't have to start his term with a devastated country.
Give me your current number of deaths and the projections you made in March.
Glad you agreed. Its really easy proving you wrong.
Not really a surprise, seeing that Democrats are largely concentrated in inner-city and suburban areas. That said, much easier for Dems to take a hit when they're the majority. The cost in rural areas for the GOP would be much more pronounced.
Glad you confirmed you have no numbers and make no projections and you're not a scientist. It's really easy proving you wrong.
Its strange that this guy likened the current virus to a bad flu... may 16th.

YouTube censors epidemiologist Knut Wittkowski for opposing lockdown

Sign up for our special edition newsletter to get a daily update on the coronavirus pandemic.
Big Tech companies are aggressively tamping down on COVID-19 “misinformation” — opinions and ideas contrary to official pronouncements.
Dr. Knut M. Wittkowski, former head of biostatistics, epidemiology and research design at Rockefeller University, says YouTube removed a video of him talking about the virus that had racked up more than 1.3 million views.
Wittkowski, 65, is a ferocious critic of the nation’s current steps to fight the coronavirus. He has derided social distancing, saying it only prolongs the virus’ existence, and has attacked the current lockdown as mostly unnecessary.
Wittkowski, who holds two doctorates in computer science and medical biometry, believes the coronavirus should be allowed to create “herd immunity,” and that short of a vaccine, the pandemic will only end after it has sufficiently spread through the population.
Does he have the real number of deaths or his non-lockdown death number projections from March?
That's what I asked you for and that's where you failed.
Big time L for you. Now people with multiple phds agree with me. Go ahead tell me more about the stratified data and how this guy is wrong.
Just when you thought it couldn't go any worse for you and your blabbering.
no wonder conservatives kept downplaying the seriousness of this...
Is he a medical doctor?
Tell me all about his current death numbers and his death number projections from March.
I’m not cheering on any deaths. You were giddy at the thought of Republican voters dying and you couldn’t hide it. You mentioned it multiple times. Sorry it didn’t work out how you’d hoped.
"Wittkowski" is saying "no social distancing", let C19 spread without barriers, 200M, 100M infected? Ms dead?
I looked up his projection for deaths from a month ago.
He just used the US government's 60,000 for the entire pandemic and called it a day.
He was wrong.
This EXACTLY why leadership is so important. You and I have seen how many ins utions who are making models based on possibly flawed data. This is why you get the best in the brightest from all over the world together and not only discuss models, but discuss POLICY.
What has the orange guy done in this regard? Tout drugs that have not been fully tested. Hire Kushner to get these people together?
Its a fckn joke.
And.... the press. The press wants to play popularity games with this as well so they are playing around like they do with diets. Site ONE study and say, "the marshmallow diet is most effective in preventing diatetes! who would of thunk it?" This is seriously bad reporting which is why I have put up articles that are summaries of many studies written by people who UNDERSTAND science, not some hack spawned from Alex Jones.
Right now we are in a stage of bafflement even though we have sequenced the whole damn viral genome and know every protein it makes. This is amazing. But Biology is extraordinarily difficult, because it DOES NOT tell you how the virus is going to work in individuals with different genetic makeups, and certainly populations are very difficult as well as this is really new and not following previous rules.
Telling lies about it is not helpful. This is what the WH and some of the press is doing. Never ever say "we dont know and here is why" in Trump world.
Bend over, I'll make some in' protien.
Bolded:
Imo the amazing job done here is what gives us a great deal of hope a vaccine can be made sooner that we expected (but mass production and distribution could be a huge problem. This virus appears to change in very minor ways and has some major weaknesses in that one of the most important proteins it makes for binding to cells readily produces antibodies in preliminary studies. And this was predicted once we had sequenced it and figured out its proteins and most of their functions. Amazing job here.
At the beginning of April, your boy said with absolutely no mitigation the number of deaths in the US would be 10,000 tops.
You spelled protein wrong Ms Crutchfield...
Thread would be proud of you for the emphasis on everything anal.
What the are you talking about? You aren't even coherent at this point.
Math time.
300000 available bed in the US.
How many people will have to be sick at once from a disease with a 5% hospitalization rate before every single one of those beds is occupied?

When conservatives start quoting experts, they almost always turn out to be less than advertised. Good experts publish on topic, and are cited by others in their works.Its strange that this guy likened the current virus to a bad flu... may 16th.

Wittkowski, has published one and only one original paper on epidemiology.
In 1995.
About an STD.
That has been cited by exactly ZERO other papers.

Setting aside his incredibly thin expertise on how diseases spread, and non-existent expertise on respiratory viruses, he pretty much demonstrates how incompetent he is with this one statement:
Holy balls. That is literally the most ignorant thing he could have said.
Here is why your ed "expert" got his ganked as misinformation:
Dude at the Bulwark nailed it.If the virus proceeds along its natural infection path, the healthcare system would be overrun in the course of several weeks and more people would die than necessary, because many of them would be unable to receive appropriate care. The bargain you strike by flattening the curve is that, yes, the virus stays in circulation longer, and yes, this is sub-optimal, but the payoff is that the overall fatality rate is dramatically lowered because we have the resources to treat all serious cases according to best-practices, so fewer people die.

Coronavirus ‘silent spreaders’ become a bigger risk as California reopens
The role of “silent spreaders” in transmitting the coronavirus is becoming an even greater issue for health officials as they ease stay-at-home rules and slowly reopen the economy.
if many people who get the virus don’t show symptoms and yet are infectious, the disease could spread invisibly, beyond the reach of county health officials.
It’s called “presymptomatic transmission.”
There’s also “asymptomatic transmission,”
in which infected people show no serious signs of illness but still can spread the disease.
