    Patience. Sadly, it will all become clear in time, and, I predict, it will be bad. It's already becoming clear.https://twitter.com/Avik/status/1276491790258970625 …

    So, when you see reports about rising numbers of hospitalizations, it's critical to ask: what's the age distribution of the people being hospitalized? We talking about elderly or young people? Without that information, "hospitalizations" statistics are far less useful.

        I think people think that a wave is like a tidal wave as depicted in the movies. One giant wave. In reality it’s just a constant consecutive waves, one after the other after the other. Each wave not looking too bad. But in total a disaster

        There is nothing to stop this wave now. It will play out regardless of what people do now. The only question is, when are people going to act, to stop it from being even worse?

        California just passed the 50 percent mark of number of cases compared to New York. I don’t think anything now will stop California from surpassing New York in total number of cases by the end of July.

        Epidemiologically it seems reasonable to guess ratio of young people is high right now, but what the stats all still miss is that young people all have constant contacts with older people. Secondary infections will get horrible with the number already circulating

        And if that happens, we have already all over hospitals that are already at capacity and have no more beds for the ones that are faster in a critical situation and have a much higher probability to die by the desease. That will get very very horrible...

    Loading seems to be taking a while.
