And that is total hospitalizations, not just patients in ICU. We have something like 2,100 beds reserved for Covid and 185 ICU beds. Who was not expecting the numbers to go up when restrictions were eased? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanforHeisman Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 My 2 boys have flag football games at the fairgrounds.. Hundreds of people there, 7-8 games going on at the same time. It’s been nice having some outdoor sports again but I’d be lying if I don’t second guess myself every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If gathering for the right political cause is okay, gathering for your children’s childhood is certainly fine. That’s life worth living, and too many epidemiologists threw away their word to tell you otherwise. 1 Quote We’re all sitting in the dugout. Thinking we should pitch.

Here's San Diego No matter how much some people want to make this a crisis, it's not. Here's a list of the dead in a county of 3.4 million, that are listed as having died of the disease without underlying health conditions I'm taking bets on what percentage of these in actuality had an underlying health condition.

My guess is that is not what is happening. Covid is obviously a thing. A thing we should be careful with....see Arizona, but it looks more and more like we should be getting back to life and protecting the folks that need protecting.

It now predicts more than 4,400 by that date. Pro Tip: If your model requires continual adjustment, particularly of this magnitude, it's not a model. It's a guess.

We know how to protect them. We've known these things for awhile now. This nonsense needs to stop. The fatality rate amongst the young and productive is near zero. There is excess hospital capacity to deal with those who have severe symptoms but for the vast majority of positive cases, there are either no or mild symptoms. The disease will run its course. People will die from it. 'twas ever thus.

We now know this isn't the case and policies that were based on these failed models need to be revised such that people who aren't vulnerable to the disease can get on with their lives. That is what states with rational leadership are doing, understanding full well that there WILL be an increase in positive test results. Life must go on. BTW: The models for the next pandemic will suck also. and the one after that.

When a client asks me to develop a financial model for their card portfolio, it is based on hard data and benchmarking my team has developed. Otherwise, we tell them we will work with them on estimates. At least for me, a model implies a certain amount of preciseness above and beyond estimating at the unknown. I think all they meant by model is that they acknowledged a bunch of moving parts and levers and then made their best guess at what they might be. They should have just said it is our best estimate....but that might not be taken seriously. As it turns out, those early guesses should not have been taken seriously.

It was the best course of action at the time. Had we handled it like Sweden, this would be the outcry: Quote Sweden’s top epidemiologist has admitted his strategy to fight COVID-19 resulted in too many deaths, after persuading his country to avoid a strict lockdown. “If we were to encounter the same illness with the same knowledge that we have today, I think our response would land somewhere in between what Sweden did and what the rest of the world has done,” Anders Tegnell said in an interview with Swedish Radio. https://fortune.com/2020/06/10/sweden-coronavirus-briefings-scandal/ https://fortune.com/2020/06/03/sweden-chose-a-looser-lockdown-the-scientist-behind-the-strategy-now-says-the-death-toll-is-too-high/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
