These estimates are substantially higher than Slobodan's numbers.
I think the experts realize that the spread will not stop until everyone is infected. It's like a walking dead movie. I think Gov Cuomo knew and let it slip out last week when he said between 40-80% of the Americans will get it. The whole lowering the curve is , I believe, an attempt to forestall more people getting it before the thing dies out on its own, they hope. It's not so much there aren;lt enough hospital beds. That's true. But the main issue is to slow down the infection timetable until this thing dies out. If it doesn't, it's going to be a disaster.
What I don;t understand looking at the charts on my last post, is why this thing in America is spreading but not elsewhere. I think it's BS that other countries have stopped it. I just don't see how that could be. Even if you grab the spreaders, there is always going to be one or two you missed and the spread will start again. We'll know if this is true once we hear of cases again in South Korea and Taiwan. I think they already have domestic cases in China but they're hiding them.
