So Dr Oaklandhater M.D., expert in infectious diseases, you are now in control of the country. Please outline, in very specific terms, the conditions of the national lockdown you are about to impose on us all. While doing so, keep in mind all the things you like to do everyday, and how those things may be affected by these conditions. And also, you'll need to tell us how you're going to address the economic impact that will result from these conditions. The decisions you'll be making are not made in a vacuum, they will all have real life consequences. An anxious nation awaits your response. |

Looking at Spain's numbers right now you have ~46k active cases and ~3k of those are serious/critical. That gives you a MAX of 6.5% as serious... ignoring the fact that the true number for active cases is almost certainly 5 to 10 times higher. |

When their cases started dropping a few weeks ago, I challenged.the accuracy of the reported numbers in front of some Chinese colleagues. They all confirmed the numbers were real based on what people they knew in China were telling them. They cited the extreme measures (chasing people with drones, throwing them in metal boxes, welding their doors shut) as driving the infection rates down.

Exactly. These numbers for Kansas might as well be made up. Try getting tested without being bad enough to be hospitalized. Who knows what the actual number of infected is.

Well, it's insane that he said that, yes. I would like to know how he surmised that when I am under the understanding that we have no freaking idea whatsoever how many people are infected.

Yeah that didn’t make sense to me. I think he meant 15% of cases where symptoms are present. 60-80% have no symptoms at all. That would leave room for only 5% of cases that don’t require hospitalization.

He may have said that percentage of confirmed cases have required hospitalization and kcxiv misinterpreted it. And also highlights the issue with secondhand information, which there is a shit ton of out there these days.

Exactly. The only people tested are first responders with symptoms and the general public showing extreme symptoms. How many never call 911 or anybody when only feeling basic symptoms of a common cold or apparently many of us will not even think we have anything?......
