Chiming in here after reading this entire thread to say that you are definitely missing the point of the above commentator. "the value of an asset is how much you will get for it." and the price of an asset is an estimate of its

Isn't this article about all of Europe though?

Well if the companies say so

Very common.

For sure and we should also expand the jobs that PAs and RNs are allowed to do.

> So they're now using a mixed strategy of both out-sourcing and in-sourcing medical training to address high costs. Not as much as they could though - there are still federal caps on the number of fellowship seats available as well

1. Age distribution of people living there 2. It would skew the numbers (by conjecture) if a higher proportion of people were old because then a higher proportion of people acquiring the disease would have high fever.

> With enough time (10 years is way more than enough), a vaccine will be developed and deployed Based on what? It’s been more than 10 since SARS and we still don’t have a vaccine. I think you’re making a lot of assumptions about immuniza

I believe that Florida is also one of the oldest states which might skew the numbers. Too many thermometers doesn’t seem to me like it would naturally skew the data in the way that it has. This info, paired with the recent infection of a US

We need to do whatever we can to increase capacity, and that involves breaking up the AMA cartel. This isn’t a two weeks and gone crisis, sorry.

Until we lock down, I suspect that it is far too late to trace contacts. I know of at least 3 different secondhand exposures to Covid, just for me.
913.
by MiroF 7y ago
This is a messaging failure. We cannot just lockdown and “none of this is necessary.” There is no scenario short of locking down for 10 years that would be able to manage with the number of critical beds we actually have. We need to dramati

Yes, but we also have the “fellowship bottleneck” and limited med school seating we use to keep doctor salaries artificially high. In addition to training new doctors, we should also just loosen restrictions for doctors to enter the US and

Same boat, but I start in July.

I'm confused as to what this comment is replying to - the GP never made any comparison between SARS and COVID-19. I suspect that you might have confused SARSCov2 for SARS?

I think that we can assume that for people worth low income, savings rates will be much lower than for richer people. Sure, we can't "exactly" know from demographic information, but the fact that if you have a higher income y

I am not a huge defender of China, but it is disingenuous to claim that not realizing the import of the virus in the first 10 days is anywhere near the magnitude of the Italian government's failure.

That's a terrible example, why would pick an explicitly sub-exponential relationship?

I think you likely missed the part where it is a 50% increase compared to last years March , not February 2020.

by MiroF 7y ago
Absolutely. Was talking with a friend who was confused about why schools in remote areas are being shut down - testing needs to be done just so people realize that it's not just Washington or New York, this is pretty much everywhere or

I think that this is a personal choice, not an objective "it is wise" choice.

by MiroF 7y ago
granted, at the street-level it is mostly not so glamorous - but gosh reading comments online makes me feel like people are still operating on an early 2000s conception of China.

I would absolutely not. My university was just cancelled and I would not like that to happen lightly.

I'm looking to my state government. Unfortunately, I don't think there is a path for this administration to regain trust for many.

I feel like containment had clearly failed by at least two weeks ago, we're just only now seeing policy catch up.

Ditto. This was the one part of the article that stood out as to me, I would certainly like to receive constructive feedback before four months.

[1] Estimate that the case to fatality ratio is between 5-8%. The transmission rate is between 2 and 3. Both of these numbers are similar to the earlier SARS outbreak in the early 2000s. That's 2-3 times higher than most estimates that
