Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

What was the point of this post?

 

A light-hearted poke at the "this is all on those people" leitmotif that pops up 'round here from time to time.

 

It upset me, as well.

COVID 19 is nothing to trifle with.

 

Runkle's pharma-bro-worthy girlfriend won't be "trifled with" either, my friend. She too is a hoot!

 

I'm hopeful that @RickStain's April projection might come to fruition but at the same time I'm terrified that apparently Pfizer's targeting July for full rollout...

so they have ~30 covid patients and an overrun of ~12 (although not everyone who goes to the er will need ICU admission).

so reducing COVID patients by a third would more or less erase the overrun, give or take a rounding error. The math checks out

 

The U.K. imposes tighter virus rules on much of England, citing concern about the spread of a new variant.

Fear-mongering or legit concern?

 

keep in mind that my prediction is not mostly about vaccines, which are only one part of the puzzle.

Possibly even more important is the fact that the US is picking up new infections at a breakneck speed.

And there will still be COVID deaths after April, just not enough to stop the US from going back to normal.

 

prudent caution in the face of uncertainty that includes unlikely but terrible outcomes

 

There were what, 3300 deaths yesterday, and that won't stop things from going back to normal for half the country.

 

This is worrisome.

 

That is a very good point.
