Lol. Half those questions require a crystal ball and you can't answer them either.

Quoted: I've posed several simple questions that flu bros won't answer. Nos. 7-8 are the only new questions on the list. With every question I have posted, I have predicted that no one would answer it. Over the course of about a week, only one flu bro has answered only one of the questions, no. 6. So, flu bros, what do you say? 1. If few, if any, quarantine measures had been taken in the U.S., what would the infection rate reach? 2. If few, if any, quarantine measures had been taken in the U.S., what would the final death rate be? 3. Given the quarantine measures that we have taken, what will the infection rate reach? 4. Given the quarantine measures that we have taken, what will the final death rate be? 5. On what date will deaths stop doubling every 3-4 days and the doubling rate begin to slow? 6. How many lives saved would make the current quarantine measures worth it? 7. How many would have to die before people would self-quarantine without government directives? 8. How many would have to die before people should self-quarantine of their own accord? All answers will, of course, be approximations. I am using the word quarantine loosely, to mean staying at home and procuring only essential goods and services. Can you answer any of those questions without using words like, "feel" or "think"? |

Question for the shut everything down types:. How long exactly will things need to remain closed just to "slow" the spread of this virus, and how do we avoid another great depression if we do this? Waiting for answers.

How the fuck would anyone know? You post this like you think formulating these questions makes you somehow superior to these so-called “flu bros”. Can you answer any of these questions? Here’s one for you, what’s the minimum virus mortality rate we should look for to institute a nationwide lockdown? |

What are YOUR answers to each?...because they are all Predictions. Can you give definitive answers to (say) China, South Korea, Japan and Italy? (All of which were hit before the US, and should at least have some preliminary numbers based on the measures they've taken.) I don't consider myself either a FluBro or a Doom and Gloomer...the answer falls in the middle somewhere. The question is WHERE in the middle. |

OK Doomer. 1) you can't know this because we don't have an alternate reality 2) see number one 3) what do you mean "infection rate". Number of people in the US who will get the disease? 20% is my guess 4) under 200,000 deaths, 0.06% of the US population 5) In a few days, most likely. It's showing signs of trending down in MOST countries, but not the US. 6) You're asking a very nebulous question based on data we'll never know. Pass 7) Impossible to know human behaviour 8) Stupid question as well. But I could guess maybe 1/2 million. We are at 750 deaths in the US so far, which is 0.0004% of the US population. Happy? |
