yeh you're right, death rate will probs only be like 10% which would mean only like 25mil US deaths caused by the government's inaction.
now lets figure out indirect deaths!

No, CFR is likely to land somewhere between 1 - 1.75%. This is bad enough without needing to breathlessly hyperbolize.

Actually we don't have to guess: we will re-surge almost immediately (like, within a couple of weeks) if we lift restrictions any time in the next 30-60 days. There's no question. If community spread is still occurring, then cases will surge 1-2 weeks after we come off of lockdown.

People are acting like the peak is the end of it all, when it's likey to be at least as long as it was to get there. They were predicting May 1 to be the peak here in Ohio, which would mean without it being more of a plateau or a slow slide down, it would be October, not May 2.

30-60 days probably isn't enough. There's delayed hot spots flaring up all over the country and any easing of restrictions is going to let those hotspots travel back to places that have successfully shut down and contained the virus.

We will likely be in a constant state of pandemic for the rest of the year.

isn't the idea to allow controlled resurgence with repeated flat curves until herd immunity is established? i thought everyone eventually getting this is inevitable

kind of. The goal I think is to slowly open back up again with serological testing + a more accurate and quicker diagnostic + hopefully some sort of meaningful therapeutic that allows us to both aggressively treat but also contain and track any outbreaks.

I have no idea when that's feasible, but its probably not two months.

You aren't controlling it if you reopen while there's still widespread community transmission and no infrastructure for testing or restrictions (ie, body temperature monitoring). Coming off of lockdown too early without having anything in place to control the spread would give us a week or two reprieve at best, and we'd probably be in for an even longer shutdown period after that.

We're going to get second waves because we're not catching every case, but that doesn't mean we can come off of lockdown when we're still seeing hundreds or thousands of new cases per day. That's just loving insane.

we have a pretty good idea of hospitalization rate from countries that actually test, and have controlled the virus.

this is just an estimate based on herd immunity

reminder that the problem of a lack of a unified national shelter in place policy means that all the hotspots are happening at different time intervals.

If NY clears up and starts to reopen in a month when things in Des Moines start to flare up, its going to end up right back where it is. We have no unified policy, so we can't actually control the virus anywhere.

How has South Korea kept a clamp on things so successfully? You'd think the whole track 'n' trace thing would only work for so long if there's such a huge amount of asymptomatic spread and they're not on lockdown. Even Singapore's seemingly losing control of it

On or about 2/17, in the NE USA, my wife and I contracted an illness. On 2/19 she and our child went out of town, and on 2/22, the day before she got home, all three of us began experiencing symptoms of what seemed like, and may have been, influenza: moderate fever, body aches, some amount of coughing. This progressed over 5-7 days, and then we had 1-2 days of feeling better, before experiencing a recurrance of fever combined with much more severe respiratory symptoms, which included a lot more coughing and hacking up thick poo poo than I personally have experienced in ~20+ years. By the third or fourth day of this, I had a "crinkling" sound coming from one of my lungs.

For my wife and I, it was this "two hump" pattern; our 3 year old seemed to follow more of a "one hump", though her breathing sounded hosed up enough that I slept on the floor in her room watching her for the worst couple nights of it.

My wife has since related that at the peak of her symptoms she was feeling winded doing basic things, and that she lost her sense of smell and taste nearly entirely for the second week of it. (By nature she's the opposite of a hypochondriac and does not complain about things much).

All of these symptoms scream COVID, except that COVID symptoms overlap flu so neatly, flu can also cause a subsequent pnemonia, and based on what was until very recently the understood models of community transmission, it just seemed really unlikely. On the other hand, it seems like every day we have a little more reason to question how accurate the early models were, and as far as vectors, our kid is in day care with kids who have parents who in some cases probably are exposed to people who travel a lot, and definitely the healthcare system here.

I mainly wonder about it because one spot in my lungs still feels a little hosed up; I really wish we had an antibody test that was reliable. It wouldn't change our behavior at this point, and I'd feel bad if I had been a vector for a couple weeks and not known it, but on the other hand I barely leave home, especially when sick.

Yeah this is almost exactly what happened to my wife and I she got sick 5 days after me but less severe (she's way healthier than me), I had a student who sits right in front of my desk come back sickthen she was out for two weeks after her dad travelled in Europe and was also sick, then a few days later I got sick. My wife found a text I dont even remember typing since I was so sick she asked what we should make for dinner and I said I don't even care I haven't been able to taste for days. My lungs are still kind of lung buttery and not great. ER wanted to test me for it on the last day of Februrary but had no tests and I only had bad bronchitis not pneumonia.

My current best case scenario prediction is the virus turns out to be seasonal, fades in the summer then comes back with vengeance in the fall after everythings demobilized and is far worse than it is now.

the problem is that hospitalization is not just as simple as "virus causes this many people to go to hospital"

the virus hits different groups very differently. The death and hospitalization rate, for instance, in the US among people under the age of 40 is seemingly significantly higher than what it is in Europe. The data doesn't line up cleanly, and when we're dealing with acute hospital bed shortages, very slight differences in how the rates work out lead to massive substantive changes.

maybe but they can just ship people to whichever exurb isn't overwhelmed at the moment so it never overwhelms total capacity. this thing's scary until we figure out just how big it is (we figured that out last week), then it just becomes a challenge. it's priced in baby. lets get back to wrok.
