The Stanford Nobel laureate Levitt who accurately predicted the China peak times predicts US will peak in a few weeks and that US will return to normal far sooner than many are currently predicting. However, I tend to agree with PP that even if the situation stabilizes by May, it is unlikely many schools will open in order to demonstrate “an abundance of caution.” (Very popular catch phrase of late). Therefore I agree next Fall is likely.

Please link that because I would like to see an explanation of how he can make that kind of prediction when some states are doing a lot and other states are doing nothing. How does the whole country peak at once? That sounds implausible. Is it the same one that made the other bad predictions about the US?

That’s the one I thought you were talking about. It was posted here several days ago. The one you posted is undated but the others are about a week old. I argued for many reasons (obvious reasons IMO) that he was wrong and was shot down because I don’t have a Nobel prize. We are not like China. That’s the number one reason. It’s been several days since this article was posted originally and he’s already been proven wrong. He was basing it on a single day drop which is about as useless as you can get. He should know better than to use data like that to extrapolate anything. Here’s the LA times article linked from your article. Look at the chart in it for new infections per day. He wasn’t just wrong when he said this - he was as wrong as anyone could possibly have been. And I mean that, he could have traveled back in time from today or yesterday and knowing the future and given the least accurate prediction possible and that’s what he had. Cases weren’t leveling off or even slowing down. It was a blip in the data. We are adding 10’s of thousands of cases a day now. We have over 100k cases. We have more than anyone now. Someone needs to call him out for this.

SO.....98.5% of American's will be fine, and we're going to start the biggest recession we've ever seen? Put millions out of jobs? Bankrupt the country? Increase suicide, domestic abuse, and child abuse rates?

We should isolate the at-risk population, continue to search for a cure, but get on with our lives.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>.

Go for it.

Your numbers are way off

We are not prepared how hard is this ?..

1. NO not most of the country will be fine. Most of the people who will recover from it, even if alive will have o deal with tons of debilitating health issues for life.
2. Are we going to start recession? I don't know, aren't we in cyclic economy that goes through ups and downs and haven't we due one anyway? Would we say the same thing should it come?
3. We don't need to put millions out of the job, once this thing will end, we all will need to go back to live and use the same services. NEEDS will NOT disappear overnight or over few months or weeks whatever.
People will STILL need to eat, to shop, to do their hair, to buy cars, to eat in restaurants, to go to the doctor to go to the dentists.. we will need all that so economy won't collapse. People will be hungry for all services and products not having them for so long.
4. Increased suicide you say? Do tell me where will lead deaths of family members exposed to CV due to work or school? Where will lead loosing providers for kids and all.. no suicides you say? debilitating health conditions past CV.. not suicides you say?
5. Domestic abuse and child abuse my dear is not going to change just because you want it to. It is either in people or it is not. If they were at each other's throat all those years, they shell continue, if not they won't start. No change here, no difference. If anything having parents or spouses at home and getting an opportunity to spend some quality time while nobody really never could before might do good rather then bad as you think.

Your talking points are very fake and kind of fearmongering if you ask. They are designed to show very one dimensional situation and scare into submission. Yes, we can all suffer some if we keep the country close some, but this is smaller price to pay then infecting everyone and pay then. There will be no going back. No do over no becksies.

This is wrong.

For a moment there I though they reported NO new cases. They might be telling the truth. They are not reporting them indeed.

Under its newest COVID-19 prevention guidelines, China does not include in its overall daily count for total and for new cases those who retest positive after being released from medical care. China also does not include asymptomatic cases in case counts.

"I have no idea why the authorities choose not to count [asymptomatic] cases in the official case count. I am baffled," said one of the Wuhan doctors who had a second positive test after recovering.
