so they didn't change any single other variable aside from social distancing measures vs no social distancing measures, after acknowledging that far more people likely have the virus? We didn't learn a single thing about the virus between initial estimates and what was posted now?
Is this what they are trying to tell us and they didn't incorporate new data into that different figure? (srs question)
Not sure I buy that.

I can't even parse what you're trying to say. The 20,000 number comes same exact report as the 500k. He did not give a new estimate for the death toll. On March 16, he predicted 500k deaths with no measures being taken and 20k deaths with a suppression strategy (i.e., shutting down). That's where the 20k comes from.

The Washington Examiner ran the article. They are trying to change the story and make it seem like all predictions are bs and people can go back to work. It's become the republican hard line now. They are trying to deny the reality of the situation.
Guys. It's exponential growth and you are going to have to be locked down. You need to deal with it.

Quote the statement and explain what was wrong and how it shows your statement was remotely accurate. You've made three posts now and have said nothing. At this point I feel like you're deliberately being as vague and general as possible because you have no idea what you're talking about.

It's terrific, right? So you know, I am in heaven."

iTs eXPoNeNTiaL, 100 today, 200 tomorrow, then 400, over and over and BOOM, 100,000,000 dead.
Keep in mind, he said elsewhere if it’s only 100,000 dead in the USA he will be very impressed. I’ll be sure to revisit that in May and again Septemberish when we’re fully through this. Trump might end up being extremely impressive to Wincel.All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

Do I need to explain the logistic equation to you and how social distancing factors into this for you to understand why the estimates vary so much and why it is so critical people remain in lock down? Do you even care to know?
The rhetoric that this is just a flu may create the situation where u make the death toll far worse.
Like I said. Come back in May. We'll see if Trump decides to reopen economy before that. And you'll all likely be eating my ass come May.Last edited by wincel; 03-27-2020 at 01:56 PM.

I voted 2K -> 20K but IMO nearer 20K than 2K. I think that people will start taking this chit seriously and lock down like Italy but too late. Against that the death toll per capita should be way lower due to age demographics and because the Italians are useless at organising anything.
Looking at other countries, when they take lockdown seriously, new cases flatten quite quickly. Also, while there will be a lot of cases in the US by 1 May, it takes a week or two to kill the people who are getting to die. Additionally I doubt the healthcare system will be crushed by then, meaning the death rate will stay low.
So yeah I'm being cautiously optimistic for the US at the stated date. Our new cases are flattening here in Australia after locking down for a few days and we're pretty terrible at doing what we're told.
Lastly I think 1 May is going to be hilariously too early to start sucking each others' dicks about having made it through. This is going to be a long hard slog."A stupid man's report of what a clever man says can never be accurate, because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand."

UPDATE: I'm revising that upwards significantly-
4,900 total deaths April 1st
14,000 total deaths April 7th
peak deaths/day April 14th @ 2,300 deaths/day
61,000 deaths May 1st
business and life outside of healthcare getting back to normal - UNKNOWN
virus mostly gone in the US by mid-June and gone in July
