Right. You need a sustained pattern of success to know if we are on the right track. One good doesn't day mean much in the grand scheme of things. Lets see how the rest of the week goes.

But, he said, these are just “small samples” and “not enough to assure us of the validity of our initial findings.” |

I am going to again ask a question I asked a while back...
If by April 3rd(Friday) we have a solid trend of fewer deaths per day AND we have more significant data showing that the treatments we are applying are effective (let's say a 50% increased reduction of viral load compared to a control group or we can use cytokine storm reduction as the barometer), would you support starting to reduce government imposed restrictions? If not, where do you draw the line? What metric would you use? The way I see it, at some point WE need to make up our minds where the acceptable risk lies. There is NEVER going to be a world without risk. The flu kills 20-60k a year in the US and we don't bat an eye, we live with that risk every year. What is the acceptable risk for Covid-19? Just to preempt anyone talking about number of cases... I will say right now I will never care about that figure it is fairly meaningless especially if effective treatments are an option. Deaths are really what matters to me when it comes to this discussion. Last edited by AustinChief; 03-30-2020 at 02:35 AM.. Reason: Oops. April 3rd is Friday |

By caseload, I would agree with you IF we are talking those in critical condition and the US death rate. We can't use overall caseload as a metric since the vast majority of people are fine to get the virus and recover even without any treatment. Regarding treatment, at what point do you consider a treatment effective? I am not prepared to wait 3-6 months for an entire workup on each trial. I think we are going to have to take a certain leap of faith at some point in the near future. |

As far as the Flu comparison goes I don't remember seeing hospitals get overwhelmed like this during the worst flu seasons the rate of hospitalization must be higher even though the CFR will eventually end up closer to the flu than it is now. |

So now it's coming out that not only was China selling defective test kits and masks but were purchasing tons of medical equipment through a real estate proxy from Canada, the US, and Australia to ship back to China.

And if we shut down long enough to reach a true depression (which might already be the case) that could lead to just as many deaths. This is like starting off up hill with a stick - you've got to balance each pedal just right or it dies... |

[ Canadian Government sent those bastards 50K masks and tons of other supplies to help with their outbreak and now it looks like they sent us back 30K to help us if this is true they need to pay somehow. |
