After infections subside, the area will get reinfected and the cycle will repeat. Unless the virus mutates to become worse, each success peak will be lower because more and more people will be locally immune. I think this method is the best way to address limited health
Care capacity but also people’s’ desires to not be cooped up in their homes for a year. Quarantine. Return to normalcy. Quarantine. Return to normalcy. Delay delay delay, until we have a vaccine. You can’t just “accept this risk”. Too many people will die becaus everyone will
Hit the hospital system at the same time, reducing overall care for covid but also every other ailment in the hospital.
Not so much a prediction as something I'd like to be true, but anyways:
#COVID19 will be America's second sputnik moment. We will be so embarrassed by our incompetence relative to China, that we will start reinvesting in science and industry once again!
@molson_hart Apologies for those who get to see this for nth time...had to throw it on my predictions thread.https://twitter.com/Molson_Hart/status/1237533313213972482 …
You can believe that China has turned around a terrible situation, perhaps reaching a (temporary) steady-state, but the idea that China only had 33 cases on March 11th is comedy. Too many people going in and out. Too many in general. Social distancing works, but not perfectly.pic.twitter.com/amC14MubXP
5 deaths in the philippines, infections in Singapore chugging along, lots of cases in Bahrain, Egypt, and KSA "Warm-weather will fix it" hypothesis gets weaker and weaker.https://twitter.com/Molson_Hart/status/1236344074459918339 …
Will humidity? Probably not. Path to containment is social distancing. We've seen so in China and South Korea. Everything else is probably magical thinking.https://twitter.com/Molson_Hart/status/1237614708930367489 …
I'm going on the world's most stable limb and saying that the UK will reverse this "herd immunity" strategy shortly.https://twitter.com/Molson_Hart/status/1238537513242955779 …
7 deaths, 693 passengers, 1% death rate for (generally older) cruise ship passengers. Could get higher. Updates are few and far between now.https://twitter.com/Molson_Hart/status/1234686714318213126 …
The original prediction! I overestimated the economic impact. China has done quite the job to restart their economy so far...https://twitter.com/Molson_Hart/status/1225236200744681473 …

Yet another nail in the warm weather will stop #COVID19 coffin:
All clubs, restaurants, and bars in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam are to be closed starting today.
“44 cases” says Vietnam. Bullshit.
Only district 1. Forgot to write that. My bad. District 1 though is like HCMC's manhattan if there were a thing.

China will ban (or heavily regulate) its wet markets, making West Africa bush meat markets the principal breeding ground for new viruses in this age of interconnection. Despite our improved medical care and hygiene, higher populations and travel may mean more outbreaks.
Serbia asks China, not the EU nor the US, for help. Watershed moment or a friend in need is a friend indeed. Mix of both, but I'm going to say the former. This is a major turning point.https://twitter.com/RushDoshi/status/1239645067066978311 …
As we adopt work from home procedures at companies all over the United States, I wonder: Is that even a possibility for our government agencies? Can the IRS and others work from home? Some of their websites operate 9-to-5, do they even have cloud storage of shared files?
My old barber worked in a "salon suites" - basically wework for barbers. It's closing because of the virus, so he's texted everyone saying that he's setting up in his apartment. I dig the entrepreneurial spirit, but this shows you how hard containment will be.
After talking to a (young) buddy of mine who probably had #COVID19 (all symptoms, no covid test, but flu etc. all negative), it's worth saying that even if you survive, you don't want it:
- we still don't know if it causes permanent damage
- it will immobilize you for a while
#COVID19 will hurt credibility of the American media.
- "it's just the flu"
- "it's just a bad flu"
- "masks don't work"
- And now: "your money is safest in a bank, don't withdraw it!"
I trust some journalists, but the industry is generally technically-illiterate and dishonest.
Japan is a consummately modern country with a fantastic reputation, but their coronavirus positive test data is bullshit, just like China's. Culture matters in how you address a problem like this. So does the Olympics...https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2020/03/22/national/science-health/japan-coronavirus-testing/ …
Great thread on why cases in Japan are low compared to surrounding countries https://twitter.com/hironorifunabi1/status/1241734715175993345?s=21 …https://twitter.com/HironoriFunabi1/status/1241734715175993345 …
I continue to be very perplexed by Japan's numbers. Can't contact trace over 1,000 infections. According to people I know, it's hard to get masks in Japan as well. I guess Taiwan, Japan, and Singapore are showing us that moderate social distancing after containment works.
Who will be the "Fabulous Fab" of the Great Pandemic of 2020? The insignificant scapegoat we blame for government mismanagement of this crisis, resulting in huge numbers of dead? The public demands a scapegoat.pic.twitter.com/UTFtUqWEj7
I literally called the top on feb 12 aka blind squirrel finds nut. This rise in the markets is crazy. IMHO, bull trap. Big business has not yet started to fail and is likely to. High unemployment.

Very not good. Virus may be coming back in China. Ugh. https://twitter.com/mikesmithafr/status/1243048672637489154?s=21 …https://twitter.com/MikeSmithAFR/status/1243048672637489154 …
Unless the virus mutates to become more deadly, #COVID19 will never be as bad in in the United States as it is in NYC right now.
- dense
- public transport
- many places of worship
- cold (good climate for transmission)
