80% not getting too sick. So, only 20% getting pretty sick, and just a small 1-3% dying. Not a big deal. We're just talking about a few hundred thousand or a few million deaths. No big deal.

Why do some people distrust science ... because of pseudo-science crackpots.

Sure. Seems like there is a lot you don't understand. Let's talk through it.

Is this guy's prediction not closer than the 2 million estimate?

He's not interested in answering that question because that means admitting we

Great thoughts, again. I agree with most of what you're saying.

Game Changer

4/11/20 11:27am

That's fair. I guess I'd ask you how confident you are that he is wrong?

Jingleheimer

Extremely confident, for a few reasons.

By your theory there basically are no experts

This is a statement with legs.

I'm saying this particular guy is definitely not an expert. Do you think he is?

My argument has been straightforward. It's pretty easy to understand.

I think "this guy" is smarter than you on this. Big time.

BleedCougarBlue2

That’s because there are no experts

We don’t know what would have happened with his approach.

Video makes some good points, but the flattening ≠ widening.

TLDR we should stay at home during virus season forever then, not ok

I'm sorry but that was not the conclusion I wanted anyone to draw.

Zoobieman

Most projections I’ve seen still believe most will get this

BYU '80

Yep. Flattening is not necessarily lowering the area under the curve.

My point was that flattening the curve
