To that dude who's highlighting Fauci's comments about "we're seeing lower cases than predicted".
The whole point of building a model is to try and beat that model by putting in measures (i.e. social distancing). The model shows what could happen if things were to stay the same, it acts as a guide for when and how drastic actions taken need to be. If you're touting "lower than expected" as some sort of evidence that the virus is just a product of over-panic then you have no idea how numbers and models work. Zero patience for people who are crying "omg it's just panic!".
Just ask yourself why anyone in their right mind would WANT to panic?

I don't really give these kinds of perspective articles much credence, but it's an interesting read nonetheless. I hope he's right and we get off easy for various reasons, but have my doubts. My local area is rising exponentially (+194.4% since last week), even though there are still "only" 53 confirmed cases in the county. I think there were only 4 confirmed cases 2.5 weeks ago when they closed all the schools and around 10 when they gave the shelter in place order. There's still way too many cars on the road for my comfort.

The virus dont care about how much money or property you got
. If it catches you, you need strong immunity and any meds more than money.

Disagree, rich people get the healthcare they need.
how did they test whole NBA teams off rip? It wasn’t because they got lucky...

Pretty sure LA not getting hit as hard because it’s less dense than NYC.
You gotta drive to get anywhere right?
As long as people stay home and social distance they should be relatively ok.

That's a bad example, IMHO. There are rich people dying next to poor ones in hospitals right now. All the money in the world might be able to get you tested quicker, but it won't buy a cure for this disease...

No, but if you take a broke boi and put him next to a rich dude and they both get da rona who’s gonna get the best treatment?
either can still live or die but the treatment of the rich person is gonna be better.

we're dealing with a lot right now, but we will get out of this sooner than later, hopefully. look at what our ancestors had to deal with. JEEZ, black death was a monster.

Maybe I'm being naive, but I have to believe that in the current medical crisis that's unfolding those same 2 individuals would likely be side by side in the same overcrowded ICU ward receiving the same "best we can do in a crisis" treatment by the same exact doctors and nurses. Perhaps some of our resident NT medical professionals can weigh in...
