The Covid-19 Info thread (keep politics out please)

[msstate7]

"Epidemiologist Neil Ferguson, who created the highly-cited Imperial College London coronavirus model, which has been cited by organizations like The New York Times and has been instrumental in governmental policy decision-making, offered a massive revision to his model on Wednesday.

Ferguson?s model projected 2.2 million dead people in the United States and 500,000 in the U.K. from COVID-19 if no action were taken to slow the virus and blunt its curve.

However, after just one day of ordered lockdowns in the U.K., Ferguson has changed his tune, revealing that far more people likely have the virus than his team figured. Now, the epidemiologist predicts, hospitals will be just fine taking on COVID-19 patients and estimates 20,000 or far fewer people will die from the virus itself or from its agitation of other ailments.

Ferguson thus dropped his prediction from 500,000 dead to 20,000.

Author and former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson broke down the bombshell report via Twitter on Thursday morning "

Yep, I talked to a leading infectious disease doctor at uab last week and he said the numbers were being exaggerated big time.

Overall perspective on COVID-19:


"About 80% of people get a very mild illness and they recover uneventfully. That's important to realize," said Dr. Robert Glatter, an emergency medicine physician with Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City.

An additional 15% of people infected with coronavirus have more serious symptoms, and 5% develop life-threatening illness, experts say.

This is the model that all the experts were basing there numbers on. EVERYONE needs to read what he's saying now and he's not the only one saying the original numbers may have been greatly inflated.

The whole article and tweet thread from Alex K is misinformation.

The guy updated the model and the numbers still show 2.18 million deaths in the US (down from 2.2 million) if we don't do anything.

ETA Proof:

That's the thing we have done something.

ETA And I'm hoping and praying that the numbers are way off.
