@GitRDoneLarry Larry the stuff in that video is just wrong, even some simple facts like "we've never quarantined healthy people before"
it's happened countless times across history including in the US during the Spanish flu in 1918 and various other outbreaks of smallpox and plague

@GitRDoneLarry I absolutely appreciate that millions of people are hurting economically and it's hard because the models looked worse than what we've experienced but a big part of that is because the shelter in place is working well!
and despite that, over 53,000 Americans have died

@GitRDoneLarry these guys are extrapolating out their experience from their urgent cares which is not at all representative of anything; epidemiology is a lot more complicated than multiplying out numbers particularly as we have been so far behind on testing
@GitRDoneLarry even with the 53k deaths we've had that's a pretty bad flu season and there are a lot of reasons to think we are undercounting COVID deaths by quite a bit
@GitRDoneLarry we're seeing patients like I haven't seen before. young people with terrible X-rays and abysmally low oxygen numbers; lots of people who are just incredibly sick who need all of the care in the ICU
@GitRDoneLarry we've been lucky at my hospital we've expanded capacity for COVID but if it starts to get like NYC & Italy other places, a ton of people are going to die who absolutely did not need to
this isnt politics. this isnt MSM panic. this is serious.
