275,000 US lives saved by interventions to COVID-19 transmission, as of April 6
Jun 8 2020 05:37PM more by Night-Rider
Tags: Random

Policy changes led to an estimated 4,800,000 fewer COVID19 confirmed cases (and 60,000,000 fewer infections by the virus SARS-CoV-2) in the United States by April 6. If you divide today's cumulative deaths by confirmed cases and use that death rate, that means policy changes saved almost 275,000 lives by April 6.

To give perspective, we've lost 110,000 people in the US by today, June 8.

No telling (yet) how many more lives have been saved since April 6.

The story on the success of interventions to prevent an unmitigated disaster is starting to be written.

Check out the the attached paper from Nature.

Perfect Circle, I would have to disagree on your statement. This was a collaborative effort from not only trump, but our states’ firm approach to social distancing.

Well, it's the first broad study using apparently BUT

When will they include all the deaths from other causes that didn't get handled due to the shutdown?

Let's see both sides of the equation, please.

I very much doubt that by April 6th the policy changes CAUSED many deaths.

Dude watching oompah oompah videos... wholly fuck almighty

If Trump is in the the oompah oompah crew then Willy Wonka and the "chocolate" factory has to be racist.

But it would bring truth to the lyrics...

"Oompa Loompa doompadah dee
If you are wise you'll listen to me
What do you get from MSNBC?
A pain in the neck and an IQ of three
Why don't you try simply reading a book?
Or would you just rather go and be a crook?"


@alterego

Trump and Newsom been social distancing for a few years now

^By their methodology, you can estimate the growth rate without interventions (compared to with) and then simulate the dynamics of the virus without the interventions and with the interventions and note the difference in cases at a particular date.
