it looks like HHS and their Secretary is going to take a hit, bc he and his org didn't warn the President early enough and didn't emphasize enough the gravity of the issue(even Dr. Fauci was stating such in mid to late February).
The administration were making comments to downplay this into March though.....
There are reports of intelligence briefings in early January that this would be an issue. I mean, multiple senators w information miraculously timed the market and made some lucrative financial deals.
Also, whatever news China was sharing, they shutdown an entire province because they couldn't contain the spread. Not sure how that didn't trigger alarm bells

All I know is amongst all this COVID-19 craziness and everything that goes with it, I've got a hypothetical wedding in South Carolina on June 6 and the decision to postpone or ride it out is looming larger every day.
Fun times.
Fun times.

Wedding’s are way overrated and a waste of money. Don’t sweat it.

Fortunately my wedding isn't until the fall. Hopefully we can move forward as expected.

It ended up potentially being something of a blessing we didn’t get the original April date we wanted

Elon Musk just posted the above. Don’t know where he got or what the data comes from FWIW. Just for California

It’s becoming comical just how bad the early models were.

I don’t fault the models really. They are modeling an extremely nonlinear phenomena and had bad initial data, and any errors in the initial data got amplified due to the exponential growth aspect of the model.
However, people knew the initial data was likely erroneous and we made a lot of decisions based on the models despite knowing the margin of error on their forecasts were very large. I guess that’s a discussion on is making a decision based on bad data when it’s all you have better than waiting for better data? Either approach could get you skewered by the public.

Damn, let’s get those tests out though before chuck can get a pizza

What seems the biggest assumption difference is the rate of asymptomatic/very mild undetected cases. Problem with that assumption is that if you guess wrong it kills a ton of people.
What frustrates the hell out of me about this testing topic. If we developed and pushed testing when we found out in January or even first case in Feb, we could have had a much better outcome.
Hopefully one positive change moving forward is that we allocate $ to start premptive research/test development so we get better data earlier

I don’t find it funny at all.
I think it exemplifies why the Libertarian approach is far superior. Advise people about what you know. Make recommendations on that data. Let people make their own educated decisions.
Would the initial outbreak have been worse? Maybe. Would our economy be crushed? Would we have added trillions in debt? Would we have crushed civil liberties? No.
The problem with the “scientists” and politicians is that they never admit that there is a possibility that they are wrong. This “pandemic” hasn’t allowed for contrary points of view. Those get shouted down, shamed down, or remove from YouTube. You question compliance? Do you want people to die?!?! This “pandemic” is more like a religion or cult where nothing is questioned. Reminds me a lot of the climate change clowns. The majority of this board has been a prime example of this.

Preach brother.
I understand that, in the beginning, we were making decisions as best we could using models that were built on assumptions that created a large margin of uncertainty.
We have enough data now to refine those and understand where we are in reality vs. projections and make decisions accordingly.
Most of the recent studies indicate that the number of infected is far more than we originally anticipated - which is good news from a mortality rate standpoint. The research from New York State showing that over 90% of the people hospitalized had hypertension, diabetes, or some other underlying condition(s), is also big news.
But blindly adhering to the “experts” and then being shamed if you so much as question them is scary.

The chart I want to see is how many people lost their freaking asses over this.
Oh and Birmingham PD says they aren't going to enforce the stupid mask order.
