New York City and L A are going to dramatically reduce the amount of people they test so these numbers will drop.

It Will result in hyperinflation, more than likely that will become a long term effect from all of this, or a form of inflation. I am not smart enough to try to understand how the government can spend trillions of money with over 20 trillion in debt. 🤷♂️
the surge limits for both general ward and ICUbeds would be exceeded by at least 8-fold under the more optimistic scenario forcritical care requirements that we examined.In addition, even if all patients were ableto be treated, we predict there would still be in the order of 250,000 deaths in GB, and 1.1-1.2 million in the US.

I have been thinking about this a lot. Currently almost no one is working. No one is producing anything ( outside of essential workers) and no one is paying in payroll taxes. IRS doesn't want our money next month, either. So the government will have taken in ZERO USD from any American for weeks and weeks, if not longer. At the same time the government is going to send people cash. No one is paying loans or bills and still the lights stay on. Then Boris? in UK said there is no limit to what he can spend to compensate workers at home. No Limit!!! Who has unlimited ' money'?
Don't want to derail this thread but if there is a thread here about the money side of this disaster, I'd love a link to that TIA

The conclusion is that if no actions are taken (on page 16) :

Are people trying to escape from New York City yet?
We should be seeing that soon.
Then the authorities will forced to act against it.
China didn’t collapse with 700,000,000 in a lockdown .

A company that uses internet-connected thermometers to predict the spread of the flu says it is tracking the coronavirus in real time — something that had been impossible, given the lack of testing for the disease.
Kinsa Health has sold or given away more than a million smart thermometers to households in which two million people reside, and thus can record fevers almost as soon as consumers experience them.
For the last few years, Kinsa’s interactive maps have accurately predicted the spread of flu around the United States about two weeks before the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s own surveillance tool, the weekly FluView tracker.
The thermometer data “acts as an early warning system for illness spreading,” said Inder Singh, the company’s founder. The C.D.C.’s system lags because it relies on weekly reports from hundreds of doctors’ offices and hospital emergency rooms about what symptoms they are seeing in patients.
Likewise, he announced that from healthcare facilities they have warned that they have not been able to comply with the protocols ordered by the health authority due to saturation in the diagnostic capacity.
“Chile faces a great epidemic. It is time for collaboration, solidarity. We must support the measures promoted by the health authority. As a public health practitioner, I invite @colmedchile to unite for the health of Chile and not try to obtain petty political gains"
“We have no answer or clear information. We ask to know and collaborate but the government does not allow it. I ask you objectivity, this had not happened in the history of our public health."
