The Princes Diamond... I would baseline your calculations from the statistics available from the PD.. it's the most stable model available...Hundreds of thousands is a lot less than tens of millions. All evidence points to fatalities of tens, if not hundreds, of millions. People are massively underestimating the lethality of this disease. It's a SARS coronavirus. Those types of viruses are nothing to sneeze at, pardon the pun. They attack your lungs and kill you with astounding efficiency.

You're right, this is the correct graph for new cases, still looks encouraging compared to the previous growth.. we'll see if this trend will be at least maintained in the next days.This has been reported in the Italian press in the past couple of days, but it turns out to not be true. Yes, the numbers this week look encouraging compared to the numbers from last week, but no, the number of new infections has not gone down 4 days in a row. From worldometers.info:

It's a joke...Is it a joke? I thought it was real!
It's about time. We need to be live streaming video from ERs onto concert screen jumbo-trons anywhere people are trying to mass like sea lions onto an ice patch. We need YouTube to cram the first half page of ANY search query with videos like that and the one below. Same with the rest of social media - they've totally dropped the ball.Video from the frontline in NYC.

New York newspaper finding the worst affected hospital in New York and making you believe that's how it is across the board is selection bias, however. That's not to say the situation is easy there. That is to say that if they had a choice between showing a hospital which is doing OK and one that's completely fucked, you know exactly what would get printed. That's selection bias. If they were concerned with presenting the truth, they'd show another hospital where, perhaps, things aren't so bad. But they don't really give a shit. Panic sells subscriptions.A New York newspaper reporting on the situation in New York is not selection bias. It is responsible journalism about the region of interest to their readers. Showing a quiet hospital somewhere in the country where the situation isn't very hot might feed some people's belief this is all a hoax, but that would be irresponsible.

Respectfully, the only estimates I gave were (a.) rough, intended only to casually indicate order-of-magnitude; and (b.) limited to the U.S. alone.Hundreds of thousands is a lot less than tens of millions. All evidence points to fatalities of tens, if not hundreds, of millions. People are massively underestimating the lethality of this disease. It's a SARS coronavirus.

As a matter of fact I discovered Margin Call and The Big Short only in the last few days, via YouTube clips, including the one you posted. I'm not ashamed to say: I've been binging a bit.@Dr. Dipwad have you seen Margin Call? The speech by Jeremy Irons at the end is so chilling.
Mostly because everything he says is true!
