Well, maybe not the flu or traffic accidents:Dr. Anthony Fauci says U.S. will have “millions of cases” of COVID-19 and more than 100,000 deaths. Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, is the U.S. government’s foremost infectious disease expert.
Unfortunately, WaPo seems to be one of the few newspapers that hasn't given free access to its stories about COVID-19. I subscribe to the NYTimes, and was happy to see that they are allowing everyone to read their stories on the outbreak.So for us non-WaPo subscribers, could you provide a 30,000 foot summary?
I thought you had stopped drinking.
Interesting US map showing confirmed cases per capita, sorted by county. While some of the hotspot metro areas like NYC and N'awlins are understandably high, it's interesting that some rural areas in Utah, Idaho, Montana, Georgia and Arkansas have higher per capita rates than other notable hotspots like the Bay Area and Seattle.https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/29/coronavirus-heres-a-map-of-rural-counties-in-us-most-affected-by-pandemic.html
Ban dis guy. Completely inappropriate. Attacking a guy in recovery.

Wasn’t attacking him. I was concerned for him since his posts were nonsensical.
I read that as a little more positive that Wisconsin is flattening the curve and that’s why it’s so far out. I have a hard time seeing how the peak would be two months away with the safer at home being in place for 2 months. Is that still due to the exponential nature of this, just that it is growing much slower?
I had the same initial reaction. I paged thru every state and WI (May 22) had the furthest out peak in these models. Florida was next with May 14 and I think there was only 1 or 2 others in May. Most states were in next 3 weeks.
The company declined to explain how a post proposing readers deliberately contract a virus that has rapidly killed tens of thousands of people does not meet that standard.
No chance Florida peaks by May 14th. Add a month to that. They're doing all the wrong things. They don't even have a state wide shelter at home yet. Luckily some of the counties decided to take leadership and do it on their own. This is the problem that it creates.https://twitter.com/travisakers/status/1243990179557359616?s=20Travis Akers@travisakersThis picture is from 3pm today.You can see exactly where Duval County ends and St. John’s County begins.All beaches in Duval are closed, while St. John’s only blocked parking at the beach.Gov. DeSantis needs to order a state-wide closure of all Florida beaches.
That is a frightening picture of man’s stupidity.
Because I know people from Wuhan, and they can report on the actual situation and the methods used to contain/suppress the spread. They are consistent with what China's government reports, and they aren't fans of the Government. Also, we aren't even reporting all the actual deaths. When a person dies of pneumonia despite testing negative for flu and other respiratory diseases, we are not testing for coronavirus. We say death by pneumonia. We don't even try to track down contacts and others that may have been infected. We just move on.
The British government believes the Chinese reports are between 15 to 40 times understated. Our reporting of pneumonia deaths disparity is happening elsewhere, too.https://www.businessinsider.com/coronavirus-boris-johnsons-government-reportedly-furious-with-china-2020-3
Why is this important? Does it make you feel better about the US? Curious.
Overall a neat resource, but there are flaws in their analysis. For one, the peak in cases/beds will not necessarily (and doesn't) align with peak ventilator and ICU needs. They have all the shortages calculated from the overall peak. There is more need for ICU and peak ventilators than they are calculating. Honestly kind of a novice mistake in data analysis. Which concerns me that their models also have issues.
