Nobel prize-winning scientist: the Covid-19 epidemic was never exponential - The Post

His observation is a simple one: that in outbreak after outbreak of this disease, a similar mathematical pattern is observable regardless of government interventions. After around a two week exponential growth of cases (and, subsequently, deaths) some kind of break kicks in, and growth starts slowing down. The curve quickly becomes “sub-exponential”.

He describes indiscriminate lockdown measures as “a huge mistake,” and advocates a “smart lockdown” policy, focused on more effective measures, focused on protecting elderly people.

He predicted that the total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in China would end up around 80,000, with about 3,250 deaths.
4,633 deaths as of today.

The administration was briefed on the possibility and even went through a mock up of how to respond.
The intelligence community's 2019 Worldwide Threat Assessment, delivered last January, said the following in bold type: "We assess that the United States and the world will remain vulnerable to the next flu pandemic or large-scale outbreak of a contagious disease that could lead to massive rates of death and disability, severely affect the world economy, strain international resources, and increase calls on the United States for support."

Agreed the Obama administration left empty shelves then gave a standard possible pandemic briefing to the trump administration which the Obama administration clearly did not believe since they left the shelves empty.

The question that your side never wants to speak to is what did congress who controls the spending do about it? why didnt they commit the monies to replenish our inventory. they do get the same briefings everyone else does.

you want the honest answer? Because the individuals in congress do not spend money for the common good of the country they only spend money in their own locals to improve their own chance of getting reelected.

So Mayor DeBlasio should factor a possible asteroid strike in to his budget?
touche'

no he should budget a plan for a thousand asteroid strikes into his budget. why should he do so you may ask? Because some scientist somewhere working for NASA undoubtably has briefed him at some point that it is possible NY City may someday be hit by an asteroid.

Rear Adm. Timothy Ziemer abruptly departed from his post leading the global health security team on the National Security Council in May 2018 amid a reorganization of the council by then-National Security Advisor John Bolton, and Ziemer’s team was disbanded. Tom Bossert, whom the Washington Post reported “had called for a comprehensive biodefense strategy against pandemics and biological attacks,” had been fired one month prior.

Could it be that everyone was occupied with trying to impeach Trump over bogus accusations?

they didn't "try." Articles of impeachment were drafted and voted out of the house.
DJT will be forever listed as IPOTUS!

Don't mean a thing if not convicted in the Senate. And funny how those articles didn't mention Ukraine or Russian collusion or anything substantial. A total waste of time and taxpayer money.

That would be correct, you delivered the pitch, he slammed it into the upper deck.
History will note the House and the exact members that voted yes. It will also record every piece of evidence offered.
You aren't extremely intelligent or just don't give a .
