Depends on the base.

Just admit that “study” is flawed at best

I am at a loss to explain how they calculate the estimate, but I understand the method.

Im sure you understand it... [emoji108]

I think 2nd wave is just a scare tactic. They gotta say it for CYA crap. I’m NOT saying a wave won’t come, I just feel it won’t be as bad as the idiotic scientists are currently saying. And I only call them idiots not in a bad way just their forecasting. I respect all scientist and all of their hard work they do for the people. But their numbers so far are way off and not even in the ballpark.

You better make a sign and start protesting because you're not getting in.

Thousands were hospitalized , over a million infected . I rest my case

Nothing says Memorial Day weekend like remembering those who sacrificed and lost in the face of grim danger by completely ignoring basic guidelines thus putting those who sacrifice into the face of further grim danger.

Jorge I know you prefer alternative facts, but....328K deaths world wide, 94K in US alone. The totals increase daily. We have no clue how many people are infected and likely will never know without a broad based testing protocol. Most numbers we see in the media are projections based on models. Very similar to the one you are criticizing from the Times article. The number of deaths that may have been avoided is based on modeling algorithms. They are projections.

If million are infected the hospitalization rate is in the 100 thousand with the death rate approximately 5%.

And on top of this, these are the same experts who said hundreds of thousands would have been dead by now when the lock downs first started .

Please show when and where these experts claimed we'd have "hundreds of thousands" of deaths by May 21, 2020. And no, referring to Mush's "doctor friend" who predicted millions of deaths doesn't count.

You stop the flow of the spread before it gets out of control. What's so hard to understand?

Just admit the countless times you’ve been wrong and the countless times you’ve hidden like a coward and refused to respond when confronted with facts that destroyed your argument .

He has no idea how a virus spreads. That's why he and Mush constantly refer to this having similar death tolls to heart attacks and strokes. It's absolute cluelessness.

It boggles my mind how people would argue that if lock downs, testing, etc were done sooner then more lives would be saved. That's common sense and a failure on multiple levels of government.

The main reason why we will never have an accurate number of infections Is because most of those infected don’t get sick and never get themselves tested . Most of the ones who get tested are the ones who get sick and want to see what they have

No, imo the reason we don't have accurate numbers is our fearless leader insists testing isn't a priority! You may recall recently stated: “More testing only reveals more infections and therefore increases the numbers (cases). In a way, by doing all this testing we make ourselves look bad”

We know asymptomatic carriers can transmit the virus. That in itself is a huge risk. The only way to get ahead is to know who has it and where it is, reducing the spread.
