Thanks for all your work Babycat. Been trying to warn my family for months. Case case case, cluster cluster, Boom. Wish I had been more convincing with my own family. Everyone has their own adaptation abilities. Hoping the US and the world can handle what is coming... |

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem!

Thank you all for your kind wishes. I was watching in horror as this unfolds, and now feel like I should have been writing letters to President Trump. As someone once said: "Everything we do before a pandemic will seem alarmist. Afterwards, it will seem everything we did was insufficient. " I could review some of the previous projections and how close they were, but it won't help us. It's exponential. That's it. That's what people need to f^$^ing understand. They are exponential because we humans are still spreading it, because we haven't done what is necessary not to. I'm heart-broken. Some new charts: |

· New analysis from @cmmid_lshtm (led by @timwrussell) provides some rough initial estimates for the % of symptomatic COVID-19 cases that might have been detected/reported in different countries (focusing on those with >10 deaths)... 1/ https://cmmid.github.io/topics/covid19/severity/global_cfr_estimates.html |

The US will reach 100,000 #COVID19 cases & > 900 deaths by Friday, March 27, w/ doubling rates of 2.4 & 3.5 d, respectively. -> #1 in the world. Recall that South Korea & US had their 1st patient diagnosed on Jan 21/22 (within 24 hrs). The Δ for SK vs US was testing + tracing |

As I mentioned previously, the previous undertesting and now rapidly expanded testing has resulted in very rapid growth in number of reported US infections, which is now slightly leveling. However, not sure what other areas of US are being under-recognized (Atlanta, New Orleans, Florida?) will look like in the near future. Some areas are still reporting lack of testing capacity (e.g. Santa Clara County) Situation is very fluid, obviously, and a certainly uncertain. Projections are not certainties, and can change based on many factors. PS. Concerned about Brazil, India. Even if a country can weather the initial wave, is this situation sustainable economically...countries will essentially have to significantly restrict travel for extended periods. Wordwide travel industry has essentially evaporated, in my opinion, and may likely be for the majority of the year. |

Sigh...100,000 US cases, March 27. Pandemics are terrible, terrible things. I never wanted to be wrong more than anytime in my life, nor want authorities to have heeded all the clear and ample warnings. This is the greatest policy failure in US history, even beyond 9/11, Vietnam, and anything else you could think of. I think I've decided I'm not going to do any more projections. America, and the world needs to pull together, and fight as one. Smash this fucking virus! I never thought I'd see all the movie scenes like this come true in real life. The 2020 Pandemic will change where folks live and how they live. twitter.com/robnesbittnews … https://twitter.com/BrianRoemmele/status/1243633976092160000 |

That report from RI is way more dramatic than it seems. Apparently lots of rich NYers have houses in RI. If not they're AirB&Bing it and scooting to a low infection area. This concerns RI authorities that they're bringing Covid-19 with them. They're not being arrested.. just registered to ensure that they quarantine for 14 days before going out and about. As NYC is the epicenter... I can't say RI authorities are wrong to require this. |

Dear God. We're in the middle of a Category 1,000 hurricane right now. I'm looking for good news, and it's hard to find. This really is SARS-2 I believe, as in 2019-nCoV-Sars2, like it was before, but with increased infectiousness orders of magnitude higher.I'm becoming concerned that China was really blowing smoke about CFR. Might really be closer to 7-10%. I'll create a new thread. I've been watching this for a while now. Increased testing capacity in US should give better figures in denominator of CFR. Look: |

I hope this trend continues. Perhaps it is limited by testing capacity. But America needs to shut down all non-essential activity at the same time. We are repeating the mistake of Italy, trying to believe that regional lockdowns will work (Wuhan's worked because it was centrally located, and tiered - city, province, country). We have many, many hotspots. It has be simultaneous, and coordinated, otherwise it will be necessary for longer. Like fighting a fire, we have many little fires we need to deal with. |

But then again, there's this from a real epidemiologist, not one from a guy who just stayed at a Holiday Inn Express four weeks ago. Suggest watching using the linear scale option https://aatishb.com/covidtrends/ The US is on a trajectory to entirely overwhelm health systems- more drastic action is essential. |

Babycat, Thank you...blistering information, can I be selfish for a second. Can you post a projection for growth for florida? Im asking for some personal reasons, as to some extended family situations, and I'm trying to calculate 7-10 days out.....if you can. |

Sure. I too have family there. This is just a projection. It may or may not happen. This is just the general data trend, right now. At some point, the line will bend, due to our physical distancing and other measures. When, and how much I do not know. However, given Florida's haphazard lack of consistent measures and to this moment lack of statewide general population measures other than dine-in restaurants/bars, mandating 14-day for NY arrivals, and now this emergency alert, received today, I think the curve will bend more slowly and less strongly than in other states with earlier and stronger interventions. Also, if you know Florida, this news portends of a catastrophic development. PRAY. If it spreads there, it will be an unimaginable disaster. P.S. You can track Florida by county here: https://www.fox13news.com/track-florida-coronavirus-cases-by-county-with-this-interactive-map |

Some thoughts I may have mentioned, but will repeat and/or elaborate. There will be a great difference in effect of the pandemic on low, middle, and high income countries. I fear that no matter how hard they try to "socially distance" in India for example, this virus will eventually surge through the population, leaving millions of bodies in it's wake. People just won't have the luxury of time, money, or distance, nor access to enough medical care in sufficient proportion. The US likely withstand this first wave and be able to go through a series of tightening and loosening as necessary (with massive testing of everyone eventually) but other countries won't be able to do this at scale or in time. I believe it's already more extensive than acknowledged or generally known. Japan has been hoping and praying, as well as under-testing, and now, like the US, may not be able to hold back the flood. One of the main reasons we haven't seen Japan explode yet is a cooperative population who wear masks. The US, for a small but significant portion, is not cooperating nor is mask wearing common. |

Pheasant, sorry to say this, but Gov. DeSantis has made, and will make the situation far worse. He's a danger to public health, in my opinion, a complete idiot and political lackey. See https://twitter.com/MaryEllenKlas/status/1243981251138158593 Not sure if this is true: https://twitter.com/gwengreenenergy/status/1243985507182354434 Replying to @MaryEllenKlas and @GovRonDeSantis "Harvard Global Health Institue: FL less than 70,000 beds. Report says in Florida: 700,000 will contract Covid 150,000 will need hospitalization 30,000 will need ICU / ventilators FL has 6,000 ICU beds w/ 23 counties having NONE! WHERE ARE THE BEDS WE NEED? " --- Did some brief research here: https://projects.propublica.org/graphics/covid-hospitals Seems they are taking very, very pessimistic views of eventual spread, at the most optimistic base case of 20% of US gets infected over 12 months. Hmmm. Not sure what to think. If we start seeing an undeniable second wave in China, despite their news suppression and propaganda, all bets are off. P.S. You can follow Florida (and other states) here: https://91-divoc.com/pages/covid-visualization/ |

One of the first clear academic epidemic projections made public. Funny thing, that. Why are we not seeing more models being made public? I think you all know the answer to that. Fear. Fear of being wrong, fear of inciting panic. Cowards those. Just so it's clear. Projecting 457,311 US by April 4. Pretty close to mine. Again, we'll see who's closer. P.S. Those numbers at the bottom are the exponential factor. The Us is at 35%, which I think is a little high. Maybe around 32-25%% for next week and then sliding thereafter for this wave. But still, even topping out at 400,000 to 500,000 on the upside, means double that on the downside...So, 800,000 to 1,000,000 US cases, from which if CFR is 4%, we'll see 32,000 to 40,000 deaths very soon...Or, as Dr. Fauci says, 100k-200k deaths are possible. It's going to be bad. |

Yes this is most likely correct! What do all of the people here think was going to happen in a Pandemic? This one is at least not that bad. 80% of people are still able to keep electricity, water, and sewer running, food still being delivered, needed PPE and vents which all other Presidents left an empty cupbard, and these items still being delivered by truckers, pilots and dock workers so get real folks. This is not going to get better for 2 more months and this is NOT THAT BAD compared to what could have happened. We need to quit wringing our hands and start getting out there on the net and getting people to STAY THE FUCK HOME! |

Mostly agree. It could have been a slate wiper. Relatively not that bad. But could have been a lot better if better handled, which is was not. Yes, convince idiots to stay home, otherwise we'll all have to stay home even longer. I saw videos of New Yorkers exercising playing etc in public NY parks, people still on Florida beaches, etc. Disgustingly selfish. Shame them all. |

People who are out doing anything but getting food, drugs, gas, or going to a doctors are STUPID! STAY THE FUCK HOME! These are the same people who are out that whine and complain not enough is being done, or done fast enough. Have any of you owned a manufacturing company. Well, my late husband and I did and we made a machine less complicated than a vent and I can tell you these people are getting manufacturing up fast. It all takes time folks you expect President Trump to pull Vents out of his butt!!!!! You all need to get real on how long it takes to up manufacturing, supply of raw materials alone takes time!!! What you think the raw materials were just sitting there on site waiting for this Pandemic! You all need to do a reality check when you think everything happens at a snap of a finger! IT TAKES TIME! |
