Hey guys - owner of the model in question here.
Yes, that's exactly right, but 3 months (or even 1 month) may be enough time to prevent unnecessary deaths by preparing hospitals, getting more ventilators, rolling out testing, and hopefully finding a therapeutic drug (vaccines are probably farther off).
Nobody can predict the future, though.
- LargeWu 7y agoI sure hope so. Thanks for your effort educating people.
- int_19h 7y ago3 months is definitely not enough to grow the hospital and ICU capacity 7x, which is what's necessary to prevent deaths due to lack of healthcare availability. It'll improve some, and that will save some lives, but not most of them. Pervasive testing looks like the best short-term hope right now - it's easier to drastically ramp up test manufacturing, and you don't need a full-fledged hospital for mass testing.
