Flattening the curve seems like a myth to me

epidemiological statisticians disagree. There are several models

When you have two bad options, you take the least bad.

Archaea

There are more than 2 options.

I choose the false dichotomy.

you just don't want to "save lives" over saving your 401k

It's shocking to me that vaccines have been around since the 1800's and it

It doesn't. The FDA does.

Backcountry

3/29/20 10:08am

You would think in the midst of a pandemic they'd cut all the red tape.

Harbinger

3/29/20 10:09am

I've seen enough zombie movies to know this could be a problem.

svenot

3/29/20 10:11am

Sadly I think this is exactly why the public isn't asking for the FDA's head

Harbinger

3/29/20 10:12am

This is untrue. There are shortcuts but to allow a vaccine to be used

Archaea

3/29/20 10:11am

Compassionate use is a shortcut that can be used. Link.

Archaea

3/29/20 10:14am

Did that in 1974 for the Swine flu and the live vaccine killed a bunch of people

bluelands

It's not 1974 anymore.

Some just liked Jimmy Carter's accent. Personally, I thought he was nutty.

Unless you are fixated on intermediate endpoints, you need time to

What’s more shocking is the number of people who refuse to get the ones we

The answer all along has been to beef up ICU capacity, let people go about their

Nursing home access in ID was restricted three weeks ago.

CougarThug

How do you beef up ICU capacity?

BYU'01

3/29/20 11:24am

Start manufacturing new machines early and utilize OR ventilators as needed.

Backcountry

3/29/20 11:26am

None of which builds the buildings necessary to hold all those icu beds

BYU '80

3/29/20 1:09pm

Theres nothing special about an icu bed. Any unut can be turned into overflow.

Backcountry

3/29/20 1:34pm

Uh not really. Might be true in some cases but not like you imagine.

BYU '80

3/29/20 5:53pm

Best answer is not to put people in the icu. Case fatality is uncertain but

StalwartBraveTrue

Doesnt compare to the economic toll this is taking.

That’s not the point.

What is the smartest way to go?

Stalwartbob

3/29/20 11:28am

Social distancing. Slow transmission. Give science time to find an answer.

StalwartBraveTrue

This is the point of it. Just need enough slowdown to get the ICUs ready with

Yes. The idea that China values human life is laughable.

They may not value it like a western society, but they

bald man

3/29/20 10:18am

They won't. There's nothing about this that can cost them anything.

Harbinger

3/29/20 10:25am

True. China doesn't care but doesn't wish to lose face with the world.

Archaea

I imagine it is still running through China rapidly.....

The Chinese people don't believe their own government's CV-19 propaganda

CougarThug

It’s a hoax

Stalwartbob

3/29/20 12:18pm

All they have to do is use their defective tests. They can say they are testing

I agree with most of that, but I think NYC was late to the quarantine game.

Kept the subway system open....

The last part of my post addressed that. Doing it earlier

Minor point of contention with first sentence of second paragraph

What about NY has turned/peaked?

Quick, mandatory testing of everyone admitted to a public event to the rescue.

Or just use a temperature check and everyone knows to check every morning

ABCoug

Agreed

BYU '80

3/29/20 1:16pm

This. The church asked my missionary son to check every morning and evening.

Why did the loving, merciful God make/let this happen?

Stalwartbob

3/29/20 11:23am

Answer: Because w/o struggle & difficulty there is no growth. Period.

AZ Coug

It is difficult for me and I have a question or two regarding your theory

Stalwartbob

3/30/20 2:26am

History and the scriptures are full of examples of famine, war & pestilence

You are correct, life happens.

Sorry to hear about your Father, smoking is a terrible habit.

The main point of flattening the curve isn't to reduce the total number of cases
