Hmm, so who else was predicting millions dead?

what is that supposed to mean?

Who struck fear in the NCAA to cancel?

Who posted that mathematician's tweet claiming 480000 Americans would die?

The "experts" are never wrong. Don't question their authority.

Precisely the problem with these models. Garbage in, garbage out. And we based

When you see the word "model", realize it's just a guess.

Yes. There's so much spin city on this. Dailywire at the forefront of it too.

That doesn't contradict anything I said

Then your post doesn't address any comment I made either.

Not possible. "the UK only began [its] lockdown 2 days ago,"

You don't need 2 weeks to start modeling a lockdown. That's how long it takes

No, his R0 was wrong including vastly underestimating asymptomatic cases
CSoul

He assumed before we would practice social distancing
kimdaddy35
3/26/20 1:56pm
Yes, this is what the articles claim. Many here claim his model was just wrong.
chilango
3/26/20 2:14pm
can people please watch his testimony here before jumping to conclusions?

No, they cannot. Where do you think we are, anyway???

Um, I've been reading his responses on Twitter and analysis

He's clearly seen new data to drastically change his assumptions.

Fair enough. Almost all people just read the headline.

Dude was wrong. By a lot. Trying to spin it. Poorly.

High end and low end estimates. Truth is probably in the middle.

According to his testimony, his models changed due, in part, to the lock down.

"the UK only began [its] lockdown 2 days ago" ??? Is that incorrect?

This says the 500,000 UK deaths are the "do-nothing" scenario (chart on pg. 13),

He's now saying the R0 factor is above 3 but is now "predicting" less than 20K

Right. It's more correct to say the the 500K deaths were his "do-nothing"

Apparently not. Looks like people were confused and didn't realize that the 500k

OK. But do you agree that the 500K deaths was always the "do-nothing" scenario?

I don't think I ever said he went from 500k to his new one. The better articles
