Right out of the gate, they use conjecture and assumption

that makes the situation look better while criticizing others for doing the same thing in the opposite direction: January 1st seed date, transmission rate (to get 6M infected in that time), and then the 499 deaths on 3/19 is not too low.

Also, we all know that we need to work towards getting better information; that everything is a guess. Fauci is not, as criticized in the video, pretending that he knows exactly. The debate is over what to do with uncertainty and the interviewer here miscategorizes it over and over again.

Kudos to the doctor for shooting down the quote about slowing down the rate of something that has to happen anyways as having no value.

I'm not sure we can extrapolate income vs life expectancy -- jmanatVT 04/06/2020 1:13PM

It’s documented that as income increases /person life expectancy increases. -- Hoakie82 04/06/2020 2:36PM

Nice to see places are getting started but what surprising is why they felt -- Hoakie82 04/06/2020 11:41AM

The results of AB testing will say alot ** -- ColoVT82 04/06/2020 07:17AM

Im just looking for a plan. I think its obvious we cant lockdown for 12 -- ColoVT82 04/06/2020 07:45AM

Unfortunately, the plan won't be good from a single/central point of view. -- Vtskier1 04/06/2020 09:58AM

Spot on & we need to know who has antibodies & who doesn’t. ** -- Hoakie82 04/06/2020 2:39PM

Understand. Lets get the plan parameters defined. ** -- ColoVT82 04/06/2020 1:27PM

If you want to know why, read this book. I found it extremely interesting -- Vtskier1 04/06/2020 09:52AM
