But wasn't SC a huge hot spot? Why are they closing hospitals?
MUSC Lancaster, Chester laying off workers, closing parts of hospitals
From the article, Chester is a rural area, and it is laying off due to money problems as well. So what is your point? There are a lot of rural hospitals closing all over America.
No, according to Ernst and Young, states who rejected expanded Medicaid were going to lose rural hospitals. That forecast was made in 2012 and it has come true.
A blue check reporter from The Atlantic lamenting that unemployment isn't higher. It's a shame that we can't rule these hacks non-essentials and make them live on unemployment for while.
I actually talked to her on Twitter and she said she could have worded it better...she wants everyone to be safe and get UI my take was few people can survive very long on it...she actually seems like a decent reporter
That takes what she’s saying out of context. She’s essentially saying that fewer people working = faster the virus dies off.
She’s making a value judgement that life > money. Which isn’t wrong. Essentially everybody is performing that same analysis and almost everybody is coming to the same conclusion she did. It’s not like she’s some social deviant advocating for more people to suffer.
I agree that her end conclusion is wrong because a) most states are not trying to eradicate the virus with social distancing, but to maintain it at medically manageable levels and b) as has been pointed out over the last several days, not every area is at risk of reaching critical levels.
I would argue at least half of the country needs to get back before May 1. This is a Government caused collapse, they have got to let the people get back at it.Ben Shapiro has been talking about this same thing for a couple of weeks. The significant loss of jobs may create more of a health impact than the virus itself. The loss of jobs has the potential to bring additional stress to individuals which will will lead to depression in a lot of cases. Depression has the potential to lead to increased suicide rates etc.
He has really been clamoring that we need a plan for getting back to work and a vision of what that looks like because as the lockdowns continue the effects on the economy are only going to increase.
I think Trump was trying to keep ppl from panicking...there was the claim from Obama's health care chief of 1 million dead in the US alone and Trump did setup the task force and shut down travel early. You are also right about WHO most of January they were downplaying (cashing Chinese checks) the virusTrump's message exactly paralleled the medical experts and the WHO. Your claim has no basis.
You are claiming model failure due to the difficulties of the modelers to grasp all the varying activities by governors? Is that correct?
I agree. $1000 a month is not enough to live off of, without other income.I actually talked to her on Twitter and she said she could have worded it better...she wants everyone to be safe and get UI my take was few people can survive very long on it...she actually seems like a decent reporter
I tried to leave my house yesterday and the stormtroopers immediately apprehended me and beat me within an inch of my life. Trying times.The unconstitutional house arrest (stay home) order expires the 14th for Tennessee, what will our worthless POS governor do with his newly discovered power? I would wager he extends it
I would say that’s one issue. Like the other guy said, it’s hard to anticipate how many people adhere to the recommendations and to what degree.
When they were modeling unimpeded growth, things were very accurate.
That wouldn’t be the explanation for that particular projection. More likely a new therapy or protocol would be decreasing the number of people needing to be admitted. I’m not really sure why that’s especially relevant, though. We aren’t social distancing because of a projection that came out in April.But the 04/01 IHME was off bad for the 04/05 projections. And then updated 04/05 and was still off significantly for the very next day's projection. How is that due to actions by the governors?

You are so wrong it is not even funny. Medicaid expansion funneled more money to rural hospitals. However Conservative governors that refused to expand to satisfy their base doomed rural hospitals.False again, the ACA has caused several hospitals to close down and it has little to do with Medicaid in the states
