      This article makes comparisons, but all the wrong ones. Bad analogies won't help us in a crisis. Nor does history repeat. This flu is its own thing, and if we don't act aggressively it will crash hospitals and kill (calculating) 35 million people or so before it is done.

      You're there smartest guy I know who could simply write off opportunity cost as a bad analogy, still think hospitals will crash because you don't understand how the whole of the system and bed counts work, and rely on simple arithmetic for algebraic statistics. That seems dumb.

      The correct comparison is Italy in prior flu seasons to Italy this year. That's coming our way, adjusted for our better resources and prep, but no way we avoid crashed hospitals. Follow economists who know how to compare things, not artists/writers/musicians who cannot.

          The truth will play out. On the other side of it is a crushed economy. It feels like fear of the coronavirus is being used to do just that.

          Why are we treating Italy as our base case given the difference in age, pollution, cultural social distancing etc. Isn’t Korea a better model for base case of what happens in US? N Italy is also much “closer” to Wuhan industrially while we have had timely band

          Why is Italy a better comparison for us instead South Korea though?

          "...not artists/writers/musicians..." Funny, I keep giving Doom-casters same recommendation of who not to listen to on this. I also add lawyers for good measure. I disagree on your core assumption that right comparison is Italy flu vs. Italy CV. Specious reasoning. We'll see!

          “We’ll see” isn’t helpful. When the choice is statistically take action or gamble on death, the answer is pretty simple.

          I'm sorry but how is Italy the correct comparison? It's a nearly failed state, horrible infrastructure, and had a massive influx of Chinese immigrants from the region where the virus originated. If anything, Italy is an outlier.

          Average age of death from virus in Italy is 80. Beds are clogged by their extremely aged population. It’s a poor analog.
