IHME model is getting better for the US...stabilizing as we get more and more good data

Check out the comparison of the last 3 big updates.
FYI those two states are the ones I care most about so I've been tracking along with US...
Louisiana projections slightly worse, but the US overall WAY better. This is a great story. The data is stabilizing and we are getting better models.

Because Louisiana was one of the hardest-hit states early on, it makes sense that our numbers would stabilize earlier than other states and then adjust upwards a little.

You mean they are correcting it for the ridiculous over projections used to take the economy down to get Trump

Be gone from this thread.
I'm surprised some of you can get yourself dressed in the morning. No reason to inject politics into fricking EVERYTHING.

Social distancing through May

The estimates were way overdone, mainly because we lacked data.
We are seeing death estimate reductions in areas that are so large that it wouldn’t be feasible to obtain reductions of that magnitude with the current restrictions we have.
That isn’t to say social distancing hasn’t had an impact, but these models are also correcting for their extreme projections early on too.

excellent news.
now we should get back to work in a week or so, so that we don’t destroy the economy because of media fear mongering.

There's just nothing to be done with this much stupidity and willful ignorance.

I've been social distancing for several years now. People are annoying.

Absolutely. The early projections were absurd, and even then the media generally reported the high end of it.
Sensationalism still sells.

It has been a couple of days since I checked--is the model still predicting 5,500 deaths in Alabama by the end of April? Because the Alabama Dept. of Public Health says that there are only 271 people hospitalized state wide for this and I am having a hard time reconciling these figures.
A lot of significant decisions were made based on that 5,500 death projection.

They are a prime example of the overestimation.

Well, that's the reason I asked him to leave. Politics fricking suck.

There is going to be a ton of this, even though most of those projections were probably based on lack of/bad data rather than anything else.
The average dude who "knew" it wouldn't be that bad will be vindicated, his hunch was right.
Of course, a ton of those dudes predicted flu-results, or a thousand deaths, etc., but they'll never mention those predictions.

They are also an extreme outlier. They had really bad data early on.
