He is acknowledged by the world and his colleagues as the best, most knowledgeable infectious disease doctor. I put a lot more stock in what he says over someone else. |

People, especially the little critters we call kids, carry shit all the ****ing time and infect each other. At some point we are going to have to move towards that but when is the question. |

I skipped the last 10 pages. Did some of you stay up all night chawing at each other?
Have a happy, protective day. |

Sorry, but based on current CFR, 100,000 deaths means ~8,000,000 cases total. I just can't see that.

A lot of people dont seem to understand exponential growth. (Which is why people suck with things like loans since they also dont understand compound interest, a mutual friend of exponential growth)
Let's say you have a pond with a single lily pad. That lily pad will double every day. It takes 30 days for lily pads to completely cover the entire pond. On what day do the lily pads cover half the pond? The answer is day 29. That is what everyone has been warning us about with this virus. The exponential growth will overwhelm our capacity. And why we are trying to flatten the curve to slow that growth down. |
