Not really. Today you can get your message out to the world with a tweet. How would you have been able to do that 100 years ago?

Let's hope that's the tip of the iceberg, and that the actual infections is in the neighborhood of 50-80 million. I don't believe the number is actually that high, but I would believe something around 5-8 million. Either way, it is still just speculation. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 4/20/2020 9:33 AM, Ken Hohhof wrote: What are the treatments that are now working? I try to be optimistic about antivirals and convalescent plasma, but right now they mainly have ventilators, which honestly aren’t very successful if 70-80% of the people die. They keep doing that because it’s the textbook therapy for respiratory distress, but it ain’t working. Even if it were working, ventilators are not a treatment, they don’t reverse the disease, they are just a measure to get you oxygen while your body hopefully fights the infection. And then you have the people experiencing kidney failure and needing dialysis, they’re not sure if the damage is permanent. I hope you’re right that the medical community has learned how to treat it, but I haven’t heard the evidence for that. Regarding a vaccine, one interesting piece of information I read was that even if they develop a successful and safe vaccine (many challenges including the sensitization problem), then they have to scale up vaccine production. Right now most vaccines are just for each new wave of schoolchildren, this would have to be for the entire population. And not in chicken eggs, it would have to be in big vats. And the interesting part is they could repurpose fermentation tanks used for things like brewing beer.

Remember, the goal was to flatten the curve; it wasn't necessarily going to reduce the number of infections. I get the impression that the medical community has learned a lot about how to actually treat it. Let's see where we are a week from today (April 27). If we are over 1 million infections, this may be going a while yet. If it is under 1 million, I would be more encouraged. bp<part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 4/20/2020 8:20 AM, ch...@wbmfg.com wrote: Looks a bit Gaussian to me.
