I'm sure he does. What a ridiculous take on his part

Sorry, I just don’t agree. My opinion is anything we can do now to accelerate the development of a vaccine is worth doing. If he’s willing to fund manufacturing plants now, then go forward. If the concern is that he can put pressure on the FDA to approve these vaccines that don’t meet the criteria for efficacy, I guess I trust the FDA to not allow this.

Hopefully, multiple vaccines will eventually be shown to be effective. The first one out won’t be the best but will be a start. The most at risk should get the first priority for the first approved. If you have documented antibodies, you may not need a vaccine immediately, no one knows now how long the antibodies will be protective.

Florida's peak date is not until May 2 plus the fact they sent the coronavirus out of the state when they closed spring break. They are better equipped then we are and don't have the shortages of beds, icus beds or ventilators that we have.
If the Governor is not so concerned then why did he refused to take the passengers off of the cruise ships and now has locked down the state from entrance into the state....IHME | COVID-19 Projections Florida, Arizona and California are the most untrustworthy states in the union.....

That model claims Virginia is going to need 6200 beds by peak time, and this whole time we've only needed 390. And it's also claiming we'll have 3k+ deaths when we've had 50 so far.

I get that these are "projections", but even their own displayed uncertainty makes that model a total joke.

The IHME study is garbage... yesterday they projected TN would need 4k beds...actual count 290...AL projection 7.5k...actual count 215...The IHME claims AL will need 27k beds in 12 days.. they currently have 1.6k total cases....they would need to have over 200k for that prediction...that's more than NY and NJ combined plus more than. Italy or Spain

One thing that is really helping keep TN hospitalizations down is the low percentage of 60+ that have it. It looks like more 20 year olds have it than 60+, let alone the 30, 40, and 50 year olds that also have good outcomes at a decently high percentage.

I'm going to give TN credit...I'm a stat junkie and they are amongst the best at tracking total tests and recoveries of any state imo

I saw a Dr on CNN answer the question if viral load could account why some get more serious complications, such as healthcare workers who may face more extensive exposure. She thought that it does. It would explain the disparity in severity and the estimates of the true numbers of infected people. I would like to know if you were just subjected to a small amount and recovered would that help you build your immunity.

I don't know if this has been discussed in this thread save reading 100+ pages of it but I'll share the info.

What is happening in hospitals nationwide outside of the hot spots is that doctors and nurses hours and pay rates are being cut. Yes, the hospital systems are breaching countless legal contracts that doctors have with their staffing companies and contracting agencies. What is happening is that the regulars who abuse ER's for complete BS reasons are not going to the hospital anymore for fear of catching the virus and unfortunately on the other end of that spectrum people who likely should be going to the hospital aren't either. In addition people aren't driving, moving, doing a lot of activities anymore that normally cause injuries, like car accidents, construction work, etc. so there are fewer and fewer people showing up to hospitals in general. To add to it a lot of hospitals had already severely cut back on lots of elective surgeries. The hot spots like New York, California are basically seeing nothing but Covid19 patients. It's inevitable that you'll start hearing more and more stories of people simply dying in their own homes not just from Covid19 but an array of different things.

All pretty spot on, from my experience during this pandemic.
