The initial proposal in March was always flatten the curve, 60% of the population was eventually going to get it no matter what we did. That’s what was sold by everyone, indisputable. Same area under the parabola just spread out over more time. What happened to that? I could see the argument to change policy and prevent total infections, regardless of when they occurred, if the death rate was increasing, but we all know it’s done the opposite. Chasing no infections is a losing battle, fought by losers.incremetal_progress said:
do you have anything except for presenting this false dichotomy? Plenty of countries and states who are in partial shutdowns, if not fully open, are controlling the virus. If you close super spreaders like bars, restaurants and movie theatres (which Newsom just did) most retail and recreation can be safe.WestlinnDuck said:You do know that the country can't pay for 46 million people who are out of work for much longer. My suggestion is that you could make some real progress if you took some basic math and economics.
No losers can answer that question, neither can you. -

Maybe they were trying to burn everything down to kill the virus. You ever think of that?

Hospital lags behind the mass transmission that has occurred since memorial day. Look at the states like Florida and Texas who opened up in May and are just as of 2 weeks ago hospitals starting filling. Now last week deaths began to spike in Texas.Houhusky said:
Hospitalizations a lagging indicator of what? The ICU census and confirmed cases were highly coupled until the beginning of June, about 1 month ago.MelloDawg said:
Do you think that hospitalizations are a lagging indicator? In other words, as the cases increase, do you think that hospitalizations will as well? Seems to be a logical progression. I do know that hospitals in hot spots such as Houston are full to the point where they're booking adults into children's hospitals because the regular ones can't accommodate them.HoustonHusky said:
What does running short of PPE have anything to do with the relatively low numbers of Covid patients in hospital beds?Dugdawg said:Youre full of shit. Washington clinics are already starting to run short of PPE again.
Obviously, at this point, people are entrenched in their beliefs that COVID is either a big deal or it's not, no amount of data is going to convince one side either way. If hospitalizations go up, I don't imagine that'll move the needle for those who think COVID is exaggerated.
As far as Houston or hospital capacity.... The rumors of the overflowing cordwood hospitals seem exaggerated...

"we want to reassure the public that this pandemic is not eclipsing our capabilities. Our hospitals have the ICU capacity, staff and supplies to meet the healthcare needs of our community. In addition, Texas hospitals continue to reserve 15 percent of capacity for COVID-19 patients and medical care continues to be routinely provided in inpatient and outpatient settings without taxing the overall hospitalization capacity."
Likewise Texas Medical official publication from yesterday showed plenty of manageable capacity available... The vast majority of the ICU beds are occupied by non Covid patients and "can be managed by appropriately transferring patients from ICU to medical/surgical beds"

Compare that to states like California and Washington who opened up a month later but are still seeing an increase, they are simply a month behind but are on the same path if they don't turn it around. Remember the first confirmed case in Washington was January 22 and it took more than a month for a death to occur.
This all happens on a timeline.
