So...would you rather have a prediction of 20" of snow and get 4" or the other way around? When has being more prepared to face a major problem ever hurt anyone?

I would rather not shut the entire country down for 4" of snow when that was always the most likely possibility even though anyone could make a model showing 30' of snow. Now that we know it is only 4"...open up the country.

The difference between an infectious disease and snow is you can't do anything to affect the chances of being snowed on

Not to mention build snowmen with a virus. Good thing we weren't talking about Covid as if it were actual snow instead of talking about the vast gap between doomsday projections and actual numbers.

Again, the big difference is that taking measures against the virus reduces the actual incidence of the virus, unlike the weather We aren't seeing doomsday because we successfully prevented it

That's what we were discussing. We had projections WITH distancing measures and we are nowhere close to those numbers. Sanding a road before 20' of snow is projected and then claiming the sand is the reason for victory when only 4" came is the metaphor here.

Apples v Oranges. You can prepare for the weather but have no way to affect the outcome. A virus can be prepared for and mitigated, to Arthur's point. Let's just celebrate less Americans in body bags and portable morgues!

Don't get caught too deep in the metaphor. It was simply comparing numbers of projections vs actuals. I celebrate it isn't a fraction as bad as was preached. Now let's get back to work.

Demanding we go "back to normal" right now and let the virus spread is the opposite of going "back to work"
