MonkeyF0cker Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 Wait. You think we would have remained going out, to work in millions a day if it wasnt labeled as nothing and a hoax? Look at what date he labeled it a pandemic and how we changed as a society and country. People specifically count on news to decide something is important. Guess what dates they reacted?That's exactly what SHOULD have happened. Are you dumb enough to think that this wasn't going to infect everyone regardless? Do you even understand what flattening the curve is intended to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyF0cker Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 I'll say this again for the ignorant who don't understand what's going on: The state of Nevada has been shut down for 5 days. We have 157 cases. That means roughly 31 hospital beds. The ENTIRE point of the quarantines is to not overload the hospitals. Not to eradicate the virus. That's impossible.

MonkeyF0cker Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 If this thing doesn't spread now to the point of maximizing our hospital capacity, the quarantines are pointless because as soon as they end, the healthy people who didn't catch the virus will catch it when things return to some semblance of normal. And then it really gets ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeinkeToWarrick Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 More testing wouldn't have changed anything. It may have caused states to move even sooner which would have been a TERRIBLE mistake. We've already moved too soon. The state of Nevada has been shut down for 5 days. We have 157 cases. That means roughly 31 hospital beds. The ENTIRE point of the quarantines is to not overload the hospitals. Not to eradicate the virus. That's impossible. The longer we're quarantined, the more damage it does to our economy. If this thing doesn't spread now to the point of maximizing our hospital capacity, the quarantines are pointless because as soon as they end, the healthy people who didn't catch the virus will catch it when things return to some semblance of normal. And then it really gets ugly.Completely false to say more testing wouldn’t have changed anything. More testing may have shown that it isn’t as dangerous as is being projected and actually have prevented shutdowns. We don’t know without the data though. Being ill-prepared with far too few tests blocks us from having that data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need to test everyone to see where things are at. Hospital capacity is the ONLY thing that matters here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gives you a massively larger denominator to determine symptomatic patient rates and death rates, which in turn drive the arguments that contribute to panic. Also I’ve heard some first hand accounts of people not getting tested that definitely should have if more were available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only does that take away from people/resources capable of fighting the disease where the NEED is, but it doesn't change the course of the virus ONE BIT. Again. The only thing that matters is hospital capacity. Period. People need to be educated to not induce panic. Not tested. Just from this thread alone, there are a lot of ignorant people.

WeinkeToWarrick Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 Private labs can study the results of the tests. And thinking more data and insight into which populations, demographics, locations, professions, etc., are carrying, showing, spreading, and dying from this wouldn’t be helpful is remarkably ignorant. You’re smarter than that to think more knowledge and data wouldn’t be helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re smarter than that to think more knowledge and data wouldn’t be helpful. It's not necessary. It's FAR more important to devote those resources to treatment of those with serious conditions, finding a solution that gets people OUT of the hospitals, and developing a vaccine quickly.
