Are there any studies that try to estimate a nationwide infection spread in the US? 0.5% is still pretty bad and puts it right in that uncanny valley area where stopping the lockdown would kill hundreds of thousands, but it's not deadly enough to be easily visible.

30% was the number getting thrown around pre-lockdown, that still feels about right given the money being spent on getting boomers to protest for their own imminent demise

though tbf that was older data, and it's becoming increasingly likely that the roni is far more widespread than testing accounts for so maybe more like 45-50% is a safer number

Some expert was saying that the models predict about 10% infection rate so far in the US. So that's still 90% of the population to be infected in subsequent waves as restrictions are lifted. Anyone stupid enough to believe conservative media or politicians deserves what they get. I just hope that they don't bring many others down with them.

It is not physically possible for a disease to infect 100% of a population. Like, I'm not saying social distance/quarantine should end, but there isn't a single scientist saying we need 100% infection rates for this thing to end. Even measles with an r0 of like 15 will peter out before 100% infection.

retest, and use a different test type for good measure. that's how hiv testing works (or at least did like a decade ago, maybe it changed since) - a hiv test is actually two tests at once, which combine to a 1/5000 false positive rate, and if you get a positive you redo the test again for a much lower chance

Part of the reason that became standard prior to being able to test for HIV-specific things is because the original antibody test returned false positives for a number of things (I recall false positives being common in women who'd given birth several times, for instance). A lot of the early claims of cures related to patients who turned out to have been diagnosed on the basis of a false positive.

Michigan deaths IHME tracking update: we did it, yall

Today we broke out of the backside confidence bounds for (I think) the first time. Granted, the latest model update (Apr 17) shifted today's upper bound to be 418 deaths, but we also had double the expected number (232 vs 108.42).



Maybe these are all carryovers from the weekend and maybe not. lmao forever if the Tuesday, April 28th numbers exceed the April 17 high bound.
