The toilet? Just five sweet minutes of not being around wizards stopping, straining a bit, then relaxing and surreptitiously waving their wand, it's all I ask

Lutha Mahtin posted:i think it is a genuine possibility that in the future this graph will be taught alongside the cholera pump-handle map and the florence nightingale infection graph It is a fundamentally different beast than the other graphs. They represented data. It represents an idea. It is a bad graph, but it may have coöpted the language of graphs effectively and for a noble cause. We will see. My fear now is that it will be a cautionary example, that we fell short in flattening the peak while countries like South Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan took decisive action. If the real curve looks anything like the ones on that graph—even the bad one, which is still at least in the vicinity of the ghostly capacity line–it will be taught as a triumph of communication. If the real curve overshoots the line and overshoots it big league, no one will be warmly reflecting on how the graph lead us to overshoot the line by n fold when it could have been n++ fold.

Any chance the lesson could be : we were never going to stay under that line, at least we didn’t tank our economy for decades to come in the process of saving a few octogenarians who died of something else within five years, as octogenarians are prone to do? In Britain it might be.

If you genuinely believe that human lives are worth sacrificing in order to avoid an economic downturn, . Like, why do you want the economy to be good if the economy being good means more people suffer and die? What’s the purpose?

I think the point trying to be made is that you can't save those lives or prevent a spike in deaths, so all these quarantine measures are doing is causing unnecessary damage. And I don't mean to corporations, I mean to people like service workers who now have no way of paying rent for the foreseeable future, who are having their lives fall apart even though they aren't high risk.

Imagine how this might have played out if everyone who felt ill on the job was empowered to leave work, collect sick pay until they're better (even see a doctor if necessary). The U.S. labor and healthcare systems are a perfect storm of bad pandemic policy. Perhaps this crisis will teach a valuable lesson to Americans about the value of social safety nets, like universal unemployment and health insurances. It's a shame thousands will die (and even more go hungry) for it, I just hope it hits home so it wasn't all (as much) in vain. Hippie Hedgehog has a new favorite as of 13:53 on Mar 18, 2020 |

Completely overtaxing the health system with COVID cases would do a lot more than cause a bunch of old people to die.

The problem with a graph like that is that it doesn't indicate a few very important variables: how long someone is infectious before they start to display symptoms, percent of cases requiring hospitalization, average time to recovery among hospitalized cases, and percent of recovered patients with permanent damage.
