I guess, predict the maximum. Don't give a minimum. Give us the stark reality. I'd rather have that than a dream, you know?

Why? They're telling us "if you listen to the morons then 140,000 more of you will die."

That's valuable information.

Thats some scary stuff. Holy ****. Lots of macho folks who think this is over are in for a rude awakening. Thats why I've been working in my garden and painting rooms in my house on the weekends. I'm not going anywhere I don't need to go.

It’s giant because the max was no social distancing at all.

And that number is 2.2 million.

And John Oliver finally reports on testing to indicate that we ****ed up on testing and we're still ****ing up on testing. But, hey, REOPEN THE ****ING ECONOMY *****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Covfefe-19: We Can Handle Slight Inconveniences. Part 8.

The current official government model still only projects 72K deaths, with a confidence range of 60K - 115K. The projection has ranged from 60K-75K after updates for like a month, and it's mostly been on the lower end of that range. It's incredibly disingenous to suggest that the projections were always between 100K and 240K when the current model's projection falls under that range, and almost all of that range falls even outside the confidence range of their model.

Once the social distancing was enacted no one was talking about six figure deaths, particuarly in the government/CDC.

If she was being honest she would point out that we're careening back towards those higher numbers because of lapses in social distancing, not that "this was always the prediction".



Um....that's +/- 70K. The range is 140K.

Is this the model from the WH? Or the UWashington model?

In any event, the WH model was cooked up by some official with no background in healthcare, statistics, epidemiology, or anything.

We'll have 100,000 by the end of May.

At 1500 per day (and there have only been 3 days in the last month less than that), we'll even beat that by a week.

And after the spike caused by all the states opening up because the pandemic is over, I'm expecting 200,000 by July 4th.

And Hovey did is usual looking down his nose scoffing when I said we're gonna have half a million dead because of this. How's that under 20,000 number looking right now Hovey? ***** idiot.

The ranges help understand how mitigation works. We don’t need to dumb stuff down for trumpers who can’t comprehend- we’ve already dumbed down enough.

What happened to people being able to absorb facts? Sigh.

Didn't you actually say a half million or a million?
