IHME COVID-19 Model

SE - you may be correct - and it is understood the DPST's are praying for continued shutdown and an economic depression.

Anything to beat Trump.

And we may have just destroyed our world economy in an over-reponse to Wuhan virus.

It more and more appears to be an equivalent affect on the population of Influenza A.

Very true. But once people get to work, for those who are still at work these days, the risk of infection is higher. This is Trump's dilemma -- if he supports people returning to work and the virus stops spreading, he wins. But if the virus starts up again, he loses.

You may have even asked the question before. When will it be considered safe to get the workforce back to work? Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXX

I have the feeling that "feeling safe" won't be returning any time soon but the need to work and socialize will return with "feeling unsafe" baked in from now on.


Have we seen the end to the custom of shaking hands? I'm personally done with it, never much cared for it to begin with and now I have a good excuse.

Let's track the accuracy from today for the IHME COVID-19 Model for Texas. They change the model constantly and likely won't admit their mistakes 10-30 days from now, so let's put it down for the record for Texas.

Based upon their model the US is destroying trillions in economic activity and creating trillions in new debt for our grandkids to be slaves to pay.

They say on May 6th we will have 161 deaths per day.

Start is April 4th.(I should have put 22 deaths here because on April 5th I got the April 4th results)

Date projected actual

FYI - here is their ridiculous projection on 4-13-2020 for Texas
STATE

PROJECTED DEATHS ON PEAK DATE

17-175

PROJECTED CUMULATIVE DEATHS

Texas

592 - 6,553

A range so wide it is useless - the government needs to find a better model.

tally from april 4 to april 12


274 projected 182 deaths

Two down days in a row. If we've actually hit the top of the curve for deaths and rolled over this is great news. Social distancing is working. Hopefully the steps that Governor Abbott and others are taking to start to open back up will strike a good balance between the health of the public and the health of the economy.
