I think one of the main issues is an agency or university releases a model early on with limited data available and it predicts between 10,000 and 1 million deaths.  The media then puts a big bold headline of "Pandemic predicted to kill 1 MILLION people!!!"  It's usually not that the models are intentionally overstating, but due to unknowns the range was wide, and for the media no news sells as well as fear.

Edit:  It should also be noted the university/agency will typically have a LOT of notes and caveats on how the model works.  All of that nuance is lost once the results are filtered through a "journalist" and it gets even worse once the editor and social media intern get ahold of it.

Whoa whoa whoa. I was told that the media was not to be blamed for any of this and that if you did blame them, you were just regurgitating a "right-wing" talking point?

Man some people just love doom porn...

I wonder if so many people are just leading such miserable lives that they Just want everything to burn...

 

 

It’s todays politics and the virus has become/has always been political.  There are 20% that are in the middle of believing things should open and people can choose for themselves and it’s also ok if you want to stay in and your lifestyle  allows.  You just won’t find those people on message boards or social media.

I just don’t understand the animosity in politics today.  It’s ridiculous.

I'd have to agree. https://www.govexec.com/oversight/2020/05/quarantine-fatigue-real/165308/

#StayHome had its moment. The United States urgently needed to flatten the curve and buy time to scale up health-care capacity, testing, and contact tracing. But quarantine fatigue is real. I’m not talking about the people who are staging militaristic protests against the supposed coronavirus hoax. I’m talking about those who are experiencing the profound burden of extreme physical and social distancing. In addition to the economic hardship it causes, isolation can severely damage psychological well-being, especially for people who were already depressed or anxious before the crisis started. In a recent poll by the Kaiser Family Foundation, nearly half of Americans said that the coronavirus pandemic has harmed their mental health.

To the bolded part.........our resident liberal newspaper hack Jim Shaw is waiting for you on line 2.

Also you seem intelligent enough to know there is a difference between a (predictive) model and a study? You cited a study but said it was a model. I mentioned that Harvard study awhile back....again it was a study not a model.

And to your last 3 questions......huh?

i'm starting to think that dynato is schlossman's burner account....for anyone to watch dave portnoy's rant and say that he isn't asking the question that everyone should be asking is crazy.....schloss got so triggered the had to pound out those 140 characters questioning if dave is an "epidemiologist"...

Or this quote:

“As long as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is silenced, local and state health departments, epidemiologists, and clinicians may need to lead the way.”

Or my personal favorite:

I see folks saying ‘restart’ being told to “lick a doorknob” aka practice what you preach, take the risk. 

Should folks saying ‘stay locked down’ be told to quit their jobs and then jailed for stepping foot outside?

The stupidity of the lick the doorknob comment is that nobody would do that in a pre-covid world.

I’m even advocating to not be stupid- By here’s the self-centered entitlement of the “at-risk” crowd....if I can’t do it then nobody can...my response:  go whine and rearrange your funeral hymns...

Dave nailed it but the bigger question is "Does Fauci like pizza"? We know Schloss does and Dave does.
