that leading expert also had some models showing numbers in the hundreds of thousands just a few days ago lol

If you mean the imperial ones that was quite a while ago? It was 100k-200k for weeks now, and now they’re adjusting because our distancing measures are working better than we thought

I see you

Lowkey don't want to go back to the office. I hate traffic more than staying inside. Gonna think about finding a new job in the mean time or switch to freelancing if everything gets better

Saw a few nail salons open back up today

Been hearing more businesses plan on opening back up in my county on the 15th of this month and the 1st of May

so you agree that predictions based on recent data aren't accurate for mor than 5 or so days?

believe what you want but no one can predict the future and those who are newly infected could come to the hospital in 10 days. most of the problems arise after 10 days for many people who are infected with it and many forget that, so the number of deaths will continue to increase over time in ny. just because the number went down a little doesn't mean it will be better directly

and for you: nobody is right because nobody knows s*** even the governors are hoping. lets hope it will go soon in a right direction

So far it seems the US has actually handle this pretty decently after the botch at the beginning

Besides New York and New Orleans

in a situation where there’s new data constantly, sure, models need to be updated. But going from 100-200k to 60k isn’t some crazy change. California’s current results alone can explain that

In short: Doomers Lost

Bro really went up there and said “Do it for your Big Mama.”

the Doom has already propagated.

Doomers won

cali confirmed the best state as always, they handled it really well and i'm very happy because of it

Im ready to secede... 5th biggest GDP in the world baby

We won’t miss you

We won’t even remember y’all

You can’t really blame New York
People from all over the world are constantly showing up and leaving
Should there have been better precautions? Absolutely, but that could have been said about the whole country

Oh I’m not blaming them lol

Tbh if it wasn’t for New York it wouldn’t even be much to talk about

116 days until august 4th with their model projections and 18,849 current deaths already which means 41,151 more deaths in that many days or only an average of ~350 deaths per day lol????? how's it going to drop that much when there's so many infected in the usa

could be at 60k deaths by may 1st averaging the current rate of 2,000 deaths per day, not increasing at all and 20 days remaining

unless there is something i'm missing and something drastic has changed

guess they expect the cfr to drop a lot

don't they realize there's lots of chubby old people in the USA

even if they flattened the curve and cut the death rate in half to 1,000 per day it would only take 40 more days to reach 60,000 so that's before june around memorial day, not august 4th i don't get it at all
