If Sweden doesn't turn to a lockdown and yet does not suffer

catastrophic death, wouldn't that mean the extreme measures were an overreation?

Social distancing and lots of testing are working better than predicted.

This excuse is so tired. That is not why these models are off.

Do you live in a normally distributed world?

a priori

I'm very familiar with that concept (haven't read those books)

CSoul

Intellectually dishonest because I disagree?

a priori

4/6/20 8:34am

Well I clearly know you disagree, that wasn't at argument

CSoul

This is called switch tracking.

To model it like a typical viral disease outbreak and to rely on existing

Lots of hand waving in your post.

Not hindsight bias, I predicted this weeks ago, good try though.

CSoul

There were no consequences to your prediction.

I NEVER said do nothing, so I don't even know what you are preaching here

CSoul

I'm not preaching anything.

We took extraordinary measures, and they're working. Isn't that good?

Heads they win. Tails they win. If deaths were way above models, it proves

With good numbers, everyone can declare they were right. Lol.

Joe Banks

Not with bad numbers though.

The issue is the horrible off numbers causes undo panic. Did people in Bama...

Amazing how the obvious answer that interventions worked

Inaccurate models and benefits from social distancing are not mutually exclusive

4/6/20 8:35am

Better to be safe than sorry. This thing isn't over.

It's already way off again and way too high. These models

How is it that the entire state of NY only has 718 ICU beds?

deejo

I've seen ~3000 listed in most places.

It must be the number of unoccupied beds,

But it hopefully will mean the newer model will be more accurate/reliable going

Utah's numbers were originally 619, then modified to 580, until this change

There was a posted article about risk management that is spot on. Western

Strange how all of the models seem to be off in the same direction

cougarnw

And by a lot. I could see being 10-15% each way, but 300% + off.
