IMHO, VP Pence and the

decent job, except when
Pence had to engage in
ritual sucking up to his

But it seems like the
adults are mostly in
charge and hopefully
will do the right things
going forward regarding
the virus response.
It doesn’t seem like
Pence is throwing
roadblocks in the way of
the experts or censoring
them for political gain.
The first few weeks, I
don’t think that was
true.
As far as efforts to
boost the stock market,
well, good luck with
that.
Note sure a payroll tax
cut will help people who

Best thing for the stock

Testing

This means
any doctor can

There should

Interesting
tidbit from
the NYT this
morning:
Adam
Kucharski, who
studies the
math behind
outbreaks for
the London
School of
Hygiene and
Tropical
Medicine,
recently
talked to The
Times about
how people
should look at
the
coronavirus
data.
One signal Dr.
Kucharski
looks for is
when the first
case in an
area is a
death: “That
suggests you
had a lot of
community
transmission
already,” he
said.
“Suppose the
fatality rate
for cases is
about 1
percent, which
is plausible,”
he explained.
“If you’ve got
a death, then
that person
probably
became ill
about three
weeks ago.
That means you
probably had
about 100
cases three
weeks ago, in
reality.”
“In that
subsequent
three weeks,”
he added,
“that number
could well
have doubled,
then doubled,
then doubled
again. So
you’re
currently
looking at 500
cases, maybe
1,000 cases.”
My
corollary on
the above is
that if we
have that many
cases in a
community,
then a lot of
people are
running around
with no clue
that they have
been infected.

Let
me see If I
can agree with
what I think
you're saying:
1) Currently
we're
pre-selecting
for people who
are in a
hospital with
something
looking like
nCov and which
got tested.
We don't
currently know
how many
people have it
but didn't get
tested and as
such isn't
counted as an
infected
person. As
we improve our
testing
ability, we'll
find more
cases which
aren't
hospitalization
(and possible
subsequent
death) cases,
pushing the
rate lower.
2) Because we
are testing
more we'll
also be able
to tell that
some of the
cases that we
aren't
attributing to
nCov are
actually nCov
cases, pushing
the rate
higher.
Does that
describe what
you're saying?
