There are more hospitals and health workers doing nothing now globally (and no, I am not ignoring the outliers here, like Lombardy, Madrid, London, New York, I’m talking about the rest of the world), waiting for a wave that never came, even though everyone was 2 weeks behind Italy in the last 2 months. Cancer patients, people with other serious issues are being ignored now, if one of your parents had a condition that is not being treated any more, you might see things differently.
- perl4ever 6y agoPeople seem addicted to comparing numbers at a point in time and drawing conclusions, not considering whether they are changing at different rates, not to mention the derivative of the rate of change. Why would the ratio of, say, cases in NY vs Oklahoma vs. Japan stay constant? Just because? Clean living? I don't have expertise or authoritative predictions, I'm just saying that graphs are all over the place and practically everywhere has historical data with a different shape, and the end state/equilibrium is not know, except apparently, tentatively, for China and South Korea.
