What's this?

Dude, what the heck?

He changed his model because we are all social distancing! That’s the massive change. Under the assumption that we all live our lives as is, millions could have died.

This shit spread in Italy and Spain at rapid pace because of a Champions League soccer game. Can you imagine the shitstorm that would have hit here if we didn’t cancel the nba , NCAA, and nhl seasons?

Social distancing is working. We are saving lives by taking the threat seriously.

But thousands more are going to die. New York is still fucked. I’m still not letting my parents and in laws leave the house.

This is still really bad. Read some testimonials from NYC ER doctors and tell me about my fear mongering. My wife’s brother is in Brooklyn. I’m still pretty scared for him.

No, he'll be excused for being "directionally correct". ** -- Hoodafan 03/26/2020 2:31PM

Wait, so you think this is a political topic? ** -- Seattle .Hoo 03/26/2020 2:33PM

I think you guys pushed his outlandish claims for political reasons, yes. ** -- Hoodafan 03/26/2020 2:55PM

So not a million plus deaths? ** -- Hoodafan 03/26/2020 2:11PM

So you're going back to your million plus deaths in the US prediction? ** -- Hoodafan 03/26/2020 3:12PM
