That is absurd.

CSoul makes sense. You should listen.

OK, I admit it, I'm not a numbers guy, but for those that are, how are this...

Nobody knows the true IFR. Without that all these theories are just a guess.

This ^^^^. This guy is using 1% IFR...which is still a wild estimate

Doubling every 5 days after stay at home orders seems high, but just guessing.

Calculations are fine but he is assuming at every step

Yup, working backwards from deaths is just a reasonable guess until...

That's what ALL early models do. Because we don't know the facts until it's over

I’d call it a first order model

As Csoul and other have stated exponential growth doesn’t maintain its growth.

What is actually happening does not reflect what his model is showing.

His worst assumption: doubling time is 5 days from March 12th on.

Yep it s a terrible model like so many of the early models. Grateful for doctor

Here’s what the actual original estimate says

Sumguy

4/6/20 9:08am

The doubling time from 3/12 forward was from people infected previously

Sumguy

4/6/20 12:41am

I understand that, but here why his doubling time is wrong.

BYUCLA

4/6/20 8:49am

It’s not like he didn’t come right out and change the doubling time after 3/12

Sumguy

4/6/20 8:58am

He didn’t address the doubling time problem at all

BYUCLA

4/6/20 9:08am

Did you miss the part where he doubled the doubling time after 3/12?

Sumguy

4/6/20 9:42am

I suggest you read my post again, as you are not understanding

I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of the model

Sumguy

4/6/20 12:37am

This refusal to admit fault in the models is laughably insecure. They weren't

CSoul

Don’t be absurd

Sumguy

That is absurd.
