Let’s say the non-panic strategy has an expected death toll of 50 million(ish) if we resume business as usual. How many weeks before the panic-shut-down becomes more deadly? My guess is 3 weeks.

There are areas where hospitals r having a hard time and other areas that are seeing low volumes in both the ED and inpatient/ICU areas. NYC and the immediate surrounding area is overwhelmed with the highest positive and death counts in the US. Makes sense they are overwhelmed.

Scott Adams was just beaten badly in debate. First time I’ve said that.

He gave in to the hysteria, even when the numbers clearly contradict it. Very disappointing.

Hospitals are not crashing. To the extent some are seeing volume they're unaccustomed to, the panic of everyone with the sniffles seeking test to result in 90% negative isn't helping manage that pressure.

I live in SoCal and purposely drove by 4 hospitals (1 is a smaller community hospital) yesterday and Friday. There’s no lines, no overflow in the parking lot and no signs of anything out of the ordinary. My neighbors a doc at one of them and said the same. Just not happening.

There was a good Scrubs episode about TV generated panics. Regardless of this discussion, that is likely occurring.
