Study: Social distancing saved lives......

[mango]

Researchers from the University of Kentucky and the University of Louisville studied the effects of four different social distancing policies — school closures, closing restaurants and bars, bans on large gatherings, and shelter-in-place orders — to tease out both their individual and cumulative effects in flattening the curve. They studied the period from March 1, before any of these policies had been put into effect, to April 27, when Georgia became the first state to start relaxing its social distancing measures.
The bottom line, according to their modeling: These government interventions have worked to reduce the spread of the coronavirus.

Adoption of government-imposed social distancing measures reduced the daily growth rate by 5.4 percentage points after 1–5 days, 6.8 after 6–10 days, 8.2 after 11–15 days, and 9.1 after 16–20 days. Holding the amount of voluntary social distancing constant, these results imply 10 times greater spread by April 27 without SIPOs (10 million cases) and more than 35 times greater spread without any of the four measures (35 million).

Duuuuuuh, so does never driving a car

Manholes brain, a politician's dream come true. A defense attorney's ideal juror. They get to fill it however they so choose.

Facts about Vox:

1. Founded by a far left journalist
2. Has been labeled as liberally biased by every credible source which examines bias in the media
3. Has nearly a 96% liberal viewer base
4. Operates a far left opinion/selective news site in order to cater to far left existing viewer base. If they were fair 20% of the time it would equate to losing 20% of web traffic.
5. It's driven by catering to existing audience in order to be profitable, as opposed to being a thought driven online publication that views more than one side of an issue involving thoughtful debate.

Not sure why you felt you needed yet another thread. No one is denying that social distancing probably saved some lives. The question is, how many lives did
it cost us to shut down the whole country? And how much did we damage the economy to save those lives?

I know small-minded libtards like you have a hard time with these concepts, but try real hard.

Not only did social distancing save lives but it also saved the economy $5.2 Trillion.

ROFL. The Covid model cited in that study has been debunked as complete trash.

Idiot.



Imperial College model Britain used to justify lockdown a 'buggy mess', 'totally unreliable', experts claim

The heralded model United Kingdom experts have largely used to guide their coronavirus policies is “totally unreliable,” according to experts.
Experts have derided the coding from Professor Neil Ferguson, warning that it is a “buggy mess that looks more like a bowl of angel hair pasta than a finely tuned piece of programming.”
“In our commercial reality, we would fire anyone for developing code like this and any business that relied on it to produce software for sale would likely go bust,” David Richards, co-founder of British data technology company WANdisco, told the Daily Telegraph.

The Imperial model works by using code to simulate transport links, population size, social networks and healthcare provisions to predict how coronavirus would spread. Researchers released the code behind it, which developers have criticized as being unreadable.
Scientists from the University of Edinburgh have further claimed that it is impossible to reproduce the same results from the same data using the model. The team got different results when they used different machines, and even different results from the same machines.

“There appears to be a bug in either the creation or re-use of the network file. If we attempt two completely identical runs, only varying in that the second should use the network file produced by the first, the results are quite different,” the Edinburgh researchers wrote on the Github file.
A fix was provided, but it was the first of many bugs found within the program.
“Models must be capable of passing the basic scientific test of producing the same results given the same initial set of parameters…otherwise, there is simply no way of knowing whether they will be reliable,” said Michael Bonsall, Professor of Mathematical Biology at Oxford University.

 

[CHOPTALK]

I’m beginning to wonder about all this social distancing .

Georgia was the most aggressive state to reopen and their numbers are declining faster then just about everyone .

The downslope in Italy starting falling rapidly after they started opening .

Its too early right now to say for sure but the early returns are starting to be eye opening

I see you haven't learned to read yet. The study didn't even use their figures, idiot.

But your Orange leader cited 2.2M from this model though. You must be proud.

That's a really great point. Any article that cites the Imperial College model is complete trash. If they were to instead cite something from the Federal Reserve or MIT it would be much different.

Funny how you never hear about Italy anymore. I guess the talking point of 2 weeks behind them has just been swept under the rug. Georgia is doing fine.

The hoax is almost over, scamdemic is what I call all this bs

 

[Albatross]

This will be the marching orders. If we didnt shut down it would have been worse. Absolutely no way to prove that other than ones opinion. The hospitals were never overrun and people weren't dying in the streets

Thank God for Fauci.


Trump owes him the world. As a matter of fact, they should probably switch occupations.

Weird I was under the impression the lock down had buried the economy - I had no clue all these distancing and closures were helping the economy

Please, just stop, try to draw the line somewhere

And Vox is the epitome of fake news and misinformation
