Wonderdog Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 At the end of the day, people are going to have to assess their own risk level and act accordingly. And hopefully they will continue to wash hands frequently; practice social distancing; and wear your mask when needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words, the reality reflecting a lag should have a lower peak (because deaths are going to counted later) than the original model projection. Italy’s already gone over what was the upper bound *final* total of the uncertainty range from the model’s projection a few days ago. Here’s a pretty clear twitter thread about the symmetrical “forcing” in the IHME model and how it’s not working past peak for Italy, Spain, and New York: https://mobile.twitter.com/CT_Bergstrom/status/1250304069119275009 Yeah, it doesn’t seem to follow a normal distribution type of pattern in new cases. The tail seems much longer than expected. I was watching this back in January and this is actually why China used the extreme measures. They could get the cases to stop growing but it was too hard to get the cases back down to zero otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they somehow start enforcing county checkpoints. Which seems unlikely but who knows. if you think the protests in MI are bad, imagine how awful people would riot if we started doing county by county checkpoints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are options in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, it seems like a logical and good way of handling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

County checkpoints are dumb, not going to happen. That's why I think most places are going to follow the model of looking at the general region when making their decisions. Either way we're all sort of armchairing here. As it stands, it doesn't seem like most places are anywhere close to making the decision to reopen. Most places look like they are extending closures.

PhineasC Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 5 minutes ago, WxWatcher007 said: Yeah. Aside from taking a walk in a large park only one trip to the supermarket approximately two weeks ago. That must’ve been it, but I’m in an apartment building. A lot of ways to catch something unfortunately. Not nearly as isolated as my last place. It's possible someone you know had it for a while and was asymptomatic. There are some estimates of 50% or more being asymptomatic. It's also possible it isn't COVID-19 and instead the flu or another respiratory illness, which are still around. But this is a good example of how entire families can have this virus and barely even realize it, which is why the total infected numbers are probably far higher than estimated. I think that's a much larger effect than the idea many people are dying at home in their beds without being counted. That idea doesn't make much sense beyond some outlier cases. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been a few where it turned out the person actually didn't have COVID-19 or had a major undiagnosed underlying disease and bad luck on timing. But PPE for healthcare workers is of the utmost importance. They are impacted by the high viral load much more than anyone else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't blame nurses from refusing to show up if they aren't given the proper PPE to treat their patients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mappy Posted April 16, 2020 Author Share Posted April 16, 2020 i think everyone needs to start telling themselves that things like going to the community pool this summer, won't be happening. Concerts - nope. Sporting events - nope. Firework shows - nope. On and on and on. Its going to be quite some time before we are back to "normal".
