In Wuhan they only allowed one person to leave their house one time a week. That’s what we will need to do before this is all over. In a month when we have 30 million cases. If we don’t, we will have 100 million cases in May. I can’t predict when in May because that depends on if other stares take measures as well but we are going to get a lot worse. The Federal Reserve needs to print cash and pay everyone a UBI until this is over. Don’t worry about inflation, it’s not a problem during a depression and they printed five trillion bailing them banks out and we barely felt it. Next year everything can go back to normal. I don’t want mass death nationwide because if we hit a sharp peak we will have well over 7 million people all needing hospitalization at once.
Every three days the number of infected doubles. That means that today we could have 10k cases and in three days we have 20k cases. Because of that, half the cases - the new 10k - will all get sick at once. When we get to May we will have 50 million that have been infected at some point (many now immune) and three days later 100 million sick. That new 50 million will all get sick at once and 15% will need hospitalization with 5% critical care.
