I wonder if he knows this Harvard Scientist?

Charles Lieber, the chair of Harvard University's Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, has been arrested and criminally charged with making "false, fictitious and fraudulent statements" to the U.S. Defense Department about his ties to a Chinese government program to recruit foreign scientists and researchers.

The Justice Department says Lieber, 60, lied about his contact with the Chinese program known as the Thousand Talents Plan, which the U.S. has previously flagged as a serious intelligence concern. He also is accused of lying about about a lucrative contract he signed with China's Wuhan University of Technology.

In an affidavit unsealed Tuesday, FBI Special Agent Robert Plumb said Lieber, who led a Harvard research group focusing on nanoscience, had established a research lab at the Wuhan university — apparently unbeknownst to Harvard.

This Harvard epidemiologist disagrees. brief interview What do the models you've made say?

experts make predictions all the time. That doesn't mean that because one expert says it is going to be this way mean it is going to be this way.

So maybe in the USA over 100 million people get infected. If that actually happens I doubt the percentage stays at 2 or 3% like it is now.

From what I've seen about this virus is many people have it and think it is no more than a common cold or flu. Even from what I've seen this thing is highly infective but we should be able to keep us safe. I just hate seeing people say this is the worst thing to happen ever. It's bad and no-one wants people to get sick and die, but we will survive it and move on. We survived h1n1 and we are still pretty good.
