‼️ NEW: “...without action by the government and individuals to slow the spread of coronavirus and suppress new cases, 2.2 million people in the United States could die.” nytimes.com/2020/03/16/us/…
“To curb the epidemic, there would need to be drastic restrictions on work, school and social gatherings for periods of time until a vaccine was available, which could take 18 months, according to the report, compiled by British researchers.”
“[M]itigation policies alone...might reduce the peak demand on the health care system by two-thirds and deaths by half if applied for three months. But that would still result in hundreds of thousands of deaths and in health systems ‘overwhelmed many times over.’”
