Y’all keep it up. Eventually one of you will time it right. Tomorrow morning, we’ll have 10 more posters with sources saying the same thing.

Governor Cuomo now stating that the peak will be in 45 days.
This is the shite that infuriates me and is a sign of how stupidly misguided everyone has been.
Were the experts not saying that the peak was going to be in 8-10 days?
Now it is 45 days.
Next, when that doesn’t play out, it will be 2 months, then 3 months, and on and on.
This is absurd and people are swallowing it hook, line, and sinker.
And many of you on here will actually buy into this bullshite.

Mr. Cuomo said that the outbreak was projected to peak in 45 days, around May 1.

also not buying Cuomo’s “45 day peak” talking point. Let’s see an ounce of science behind that.

It’s almost like this is new and with more information, things change.
And let’s not act like all the experts are in agreement with all of these projections.

Cuomo is a fricking lib. I don't believe a word he says.

I know Cathy O’Neal. I think she was trying to calm people down a bit. Which isn’t a bad public message right now. But none of the data we have so far indicate that 80% of people won’t experience any symptoms.
They may think they just have a cold or flu and never get checked out. That’s true.

Well, Trump said things could last until July or August, so...

New York’s main issue is they still haven’t shut down the subway. So even though they’re on lockdown right now, the subway is going to keep being a big transmitter of the disease. Places where cars are the main mode of transportation should see a peak of about 14-21 days after going into lockdown

His comments are in line with current modeling being produced by numerous research groups. There will be a peak and, without a vaccine, subsequent rebounds as mitigation efforts are relaxed. I feel that is a reasonable take just looking at potential case loads. However, that doesn't say anything about the severity of cases and additional data may suggest that current mitigation efforts can be ended sooner or that future efforts aren't required.
One example of current research that has been discussed in this thread. You can disagree with the results but their methods appear sound.

Someone on TV proclaims it and then people consume it as fact.
Then, when it is incorrect, like the peak in 8-10 days prediction was, you have people excusing it away with “well, we didn’t have complete information at the time”, and no one is called out or forced to apologize for spouting falsehoods as facts.
How about we not make severely impactful decisions on incomplete data?

I haven’t read any experts that have said the peak would be in 8-10 days. Less than 1% of our population would be infected by that time. How could that be the peak? I think they know they will have to take measures well before the peak in order to lessen it.
If you think the peak is in 45 days you probably start taking serious measures 21-28 days before the peak. Which means we should start to see action in 10-14 days.

The government is excused because that is the whole purpose of their existence.
What blows my mind is the number of individuals who accept that so readily without question or review.

Decision makers are jumpy right now because of a lack of information, due to a lack of testing.
They don’t know how many cases are out there so in that situation they will lean toward more conservative statements and decisions. Better to tell everyone the peak is in 10 days and it’s in 45 rather than the other way around.

What blows my mind is you as a fellow physician can’t comprehend that overloading ICUs is a realistic concern. Just because your patient population isn’t the one involved.

In this very thread, people were posting the comments of Obama’s Acting Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and taking his word as gospel.
The news was taking his word as gospel.

How long should we shut everything down?
30 days?
Peak is in 45 days, so that won’t work.
Maybe 60.
