Trump closing border with Canada. Quick everyone. Run to Walmart and stock up on maple syrup. I mean how long can we survive without Canadian maple syrup? This is going to make Vermont a world power player I am sure.
Don’t jack with my syrup! Wife brought home a gallon jug this summer from her Maine visit. It’s private stock and rationed
This is the study that allegedly got Trump to take Covid seriously, and Boris Johnson for that matter. The report shows mortality rates of 4 to 8 million Americans without mitigation. https://www.imperial.ac.uk/mrc-global-infectious-disease-analysis/news--wuhan-coronavirus/ This is definitely the best study I have seen, and I’ve been reading every one I can find. The mortality tables and infection rates seem to be more realistic when controlled for a symptomatic infected.
DOn't forget the number of cases will go up dramatically simply due to more testing. That spike can be misconstrued by people but it mainly comes to more tests being administered so we should not panic when the testing is done and the numbers spike. 6000-10,000 cases in our country is a blip.
I dunno. I read one of this studies had a low of 300 to a high of 2 million. I understand there are several factors, but it may as well be useless. I get exponential growth, I get we have not been as aggressive from the onset as the Chinese and are likely lagging the Italians, but the flattening in some countries already doesn't appear to support those numbers. Obviously we may have done enough by now to make those projections meaningless, but do wonder about the assumptions being done
