My thought is that as people start coming out of isolation, some of them will now be susceptible and catch it.

Fantastic news. Deaths at only 1048. 3 day average daily growth down to 2.6%

They are 82% under the projections from last week

I don’t know whose projections you are referring to.
jkccoug
4/4/20 6:49pm
The ones published by Gov cuomo. You know. The official ones

I think the point is the predictions were ridiculous to begin with.

More than 1000 people are dying per day. That’s bad.

Exactly right. This is *good* news. It means our painful measures are helping.

It’s truly incredible that a thousand deaths with strong attempts at prevention
coolcats

We could have 10K deaths a day and some people would still say it's nothing.

More exaggeration... if you can’t discuss the topic without getting

I generally agree with your post but it’s not clear what we are doing

If tallies are decreasing, it is because of NY which is great. But California expects to be much worse in the next two

This. The US peak is a plateau comprising of lots of individual state peaks

NYC is the largest and most dense city we have. We likely won’t see anything worse than New York and everyone else has

California was inline with ny until they implemented strict measures

No one is going to change their minds about this. I get it.

We don’t know what measures were even needed. What was done was based
kotacoug

You can’t possibly know if the projections were faulty. You do not have access
jkccoug
4/4/20 7:22pm
The projections all of this were originally based on have absolutely been wrong
BYU '80
4/4/20 8:45pm
That is not something you can know. You just cant.
jkccoug
4/4/20 9:16pm
So a projection that said x number of deaths by x date

4/4/20 9:28pm
All projections are based on assumptions. I can project you will get hit by a

But in this scenario, the car is unknown. Neither of you see it. You just think

Or you may not have. Nor is it true that you have no idea if there was a truck
jkccoug
4/4/20 7:23pm
I guess a better way would be to say it was a four lane highway and the truck

Hope so

I bet you $10 this is not the peak.
chago04
4/4/20 6:49pm
I’ll bet you a bottle of fish tank cleaner this is somewhere in the neighborhood of the peak
YIsForBrigham
4/4/20 6:52pm
We will hit new highs, yes. But we are entering the up and down era Italy
jkccoug
4/4/20 6:53pm
Peak is in about 2 weeks.
rggee
4/4/20 6:54pm
Based on projections that will likely change in a couple days like all of them

Not enough carnage for ya yet huh
travelcoug
4/4/20 6:54pm
No, but the statistical methodology of his prediction isn’t very sound.
chago04
4/4/20 7:01pm
Statisticians are just guessing and failing.... all of them
travelcoug
4/4/20 7:05pm
Yes, we are, but we are using scientific methods to “guess”.
chago04
4/4/20 7:06pm
No. The scientific methods says you try to disprove your theory
travelcoug
4/4/20 7:12pm
Which is why they are not statisticians. My degree is in statistics and I taught stats for several years.
chago04
4/4/20 7:17pm
I’m just looking at the change in the 3-day rolling average daily growth rate
jkccoug
4/4/20 7:07pm
The problem is that we have been seeing one high day followed by a low day for about a week now.
chago04
4/4/20 7:09pm
So single day doesn't work and 3day rolling average doesnt work? What DOES work?
rggee
4/4/20 7:10pm
Three day works as a trend but not point to point comparisons. You need more than 3 days to show a trend.
chago04
4/4/20 7:14pm
I hear you, but high day low day is just what happened in Italy a couple weeks
jkccoug
4/4/20 7:11pm
I’d love for this to be a peak, but our trend over the last week or two is still 20%
chago04
4/4/20 7:16pm
If it goes as they hoped, won't the numbers remain around this rate for some time?
John Doe
4/4/20 6:53pm
Yes.
jkccoug
4/4/20 6:54pm
Yes, the 'peak' is pretty wide in most countries. But it does start to come down
rggee
4/4/20 6:55pm
So is this a sign that flattening the curve may be working?
John Doe
4/4/20 6:57pm
Who knows, it's just a sign that we are on our way out of this outbreak.
rggee
4/4/20 6:58pm
With the vast majority of the cases being treated now being 10-14 days old

We wont be coming out of isolation for a month or so I'd wager
rggee
4/4/20 7:01pm
Another month? Most folks can't afford to do that.
John Doe
4/4/20 7:05pm
I agree. Nevertheless, it's clear that's the plan.

I thought the University of Washington model was the optimistic one
annapcoug
4/4/20 6:58pm
And they projected over 1340 deaths today
rggee
4/4/20 7:00pm
You can’t look at one day totals. It doesn’t work like that.
chago04
4/4/20 7:02pm
Which is what happened yesterday, roughly. It’s not like they were way off.
jkccoug
4/4/20 7:05pm
Which is what we ended up with. OP jumped the gun
Memmo
4/4/20 7:46pm
They did move some deaths/dates around. Not sure which goes where just yet
jkccoug
4/4/20 8:16pm
I’m seeing the US at 1,331. I think that’s a record for any country, on any day.
chilango

They moved 300ish from yesterday to today. It was 1328 yesterday 1045 today
