If severe control measures including strict social distancing are not put in place, coronavirus infections could top 1 million in Cook County by early May — 21 percent or more of the population.
That's the conclusion of Columbia University researchers as reported by the New York Times, which compiled maps showing the estimated spread of the virus in every county in America under varying scenarios for control measures.
These epidemiologists have exposed their ‘science’ for the snake oil that it is. Not one place on earth has had infection numbers even close to the lowest estimate of these scientists. This article of quoting a Columbia U (gawd!) study that a million infections just in Cook County in a few months? China has over billion people and it had 140,000 (including the the 40,000 that tested positive but no symptoms). Only Wubei province was shut down, the rest of the county was open, slow for sure, social distancing, but still open. And that was AFTER they let 5,000,000 people… Read more »
These scientists are from the same left wing institutions that climate “scientists” appear to be from, which are totally lacking in method and focused more on emotions and feelings
Complete morons spreading fear… shockingly in an election year, what a coincidence
Look up Event 201 ran by Bill Gates, homedelete, its shocking
I looked at that 201, how convenient that it was weeks before the Chinese Plague, the Wuhan Virus, was cast upon the world. I have no doubt that there will eventually be a pandemic. MERS, SARS, Ebola, black plague, athenian plague, and so on, history is full of them. But Wuhan Virus appears to be the least lethal of all the pandemics yet they’ve used the most draconian measures to control it. All this does is make us less likely to comply next time where there is a 10% or 30% death rate, and it’s a ‘bring out your dead!’… Read more »
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
