Thanks for tagging me here. Very interesting info. We get daily updates and have thrice-weekly calls but not with a lot of specifics like this.
You can see the methodology.
Good to hear. And to be clear, I’m about as far from the front lines as can be, and people in the field to whom it’s important are being given huge amounts of info and resources. I’ve been very proud of the company throughout this time as I see how they’ve handled this and how they’re treating employees and patients. I hope you’ve been seeing the same.
But can flattening the curve too much be a bad thing? We continue to learn about the virus every day, and supplies needed are being produced at a fast rate. If you told me I was sure to test positive at some point, I would want that time to be when the healthcare system in my area isn't overwhelmed.
A surplus of beds and man hours in some areas at the moment but surely not a surplus of PPE.
Interesting. So Sept would be the soonest to try on hc workers and hospitalised pts if all goes as planned.
Yeah

This guy and his team were my favorite part of that show.
Your terminology or are you quoting from the news piece? SARS, MERS, COVID-19, etc. aren’t “forms of the flu”.
I wish we funded stuff like bridges, roads, education, and this, rather than building billion dollar fighter jets and aircraft carriers.
The idea of flattening the curve is that if you do it enough the health care system is never overwhelmed
To be fair, we need the jets and carriers too. But unfortunately there's so much fluff in our military contracts... without it we could easily fund a lot of the initiatives you're requesting.
Yea but one fattens the pockets of a few military industry titans and one only helps the american people.
I don’t disagree, but it’s stupid how much more we spend on our military than the rest of the world. We make all these weapons and sell them and fight with each other; it’s pointless.
Honestly? It would mean that Mother Nature would come up with another way to kill us off that would be that much harder to cure.
Just keep quarantining. There’s plenty to be hopeful about if everyone stays indoors for the next 3-4 weeks
I have a completely comped stay at the wynn in vegas May 13-16, that luckily I dont have to cancel until the day before.
I thought DeSantis declared that yesterday for South Florida counties, not statewide.
We have a trip to Cabo 5/16-5/23. Haven’t cancelled yet but I’m pretty sure at this point México won’t be letting us in.
Good question Bill, honestly I don't stay glued on this all day. I know the White House has their daily (can I say Pep Rally?) briefing and other than alerts to my phone or something breaking locally I am trying to just stay focused on my family like many of you. I am trying to not overreact when they issue further restrictions to what is already in place.
It somewhat depends on how we react to positive cases in the near future. Specifically, the tricky part is do we shut down <xyz> if one person tests positive?TheWinz said:

If your kid is anything like my daughter, you have an extra 10 days.We have our baby due on May 15th, so I also hope things are open by then including hospital beds
Don't really understand the idea that we can afford either the impacts of the dead or shutting the economy down, but not the cost of a standard pandemic response (that's already working in other countries).
The downside of flattening the curve is prolonging the duration of the course that needs to be run.TheWinz said:

This is actually a potential sign that Spain's curve is starting to flatten. Their death number had been doubling every 2-3 days, but it hasn't doubled for 8 days now. New cases in Spain peaked at 8271 on March 26th, and since then they've posted 5 straight days below peak.
People who need work and want a paycheck. I mean you could pay them $100/hour and the costs are still almost unmeasurably small relative to the cost of doing what we did in February and keeping the economy shut down for months at a time.
