How about a epidemiologist from Stanford. Would he count as someone not to ignore? He disagrees with you.
In the coronavirus pandemic, we're making decisions without reliable data
He has fair arguments, although I'm not sure why he thinks it will stop at 1% of the total population. As for the ship, half of the cases are still outstanding. We don't yet know how that will resolve.
He is absolutely correct that we don't know what the numbers will be. We do know that Italy is already at the point that they aren't treating people over 60. It was 65 a week ago. Might be 55 soon. I'm 55. That scares me.

We are all scared about the virus and our way of life. My point was not all the people in the field agree and you made an absolute statement about not listening to experts in the field. Like I was saying earlier, no one really knows squat even among those you mention who we should be listening to. The experts in the field don’t agree and you made it sound like they did. You are not being purposely disingenuous but a guy in the field as a doctor at a legitimate institution such as Stanford has a different take.
I’ve been offered multiple times to go to NY because I have Hospitalist experience. I keep saying no because of the risk. I told my wife what they are offering and she was “you should go”.No one in their right mine would say it isn’t a problem mainly because it wasn’t taken seriously before. New York looks like a big problem but elsewhere except maybe Cali, it seems to not be exploding like wildfire. We will have a better idea I think by April 1.
