[QUOTE="SMS, post: 3368371, member: 42"] IIRC, many of the models used to strike fear into our hearts were those based on if we took no preventative measures at all....so the fact that we didn't reach those numbers after taking preventative measures does not, in itself, invalidate those models. I haven't seen any models that predicted death counts under the lock down measures we put in place. I once worked with a counter terrorism guy in Kuwait. It was his job to analyze the threat and recommend protective posture to the commander. He told me once during a smoke break that he was damned either way. "If I see a big threat and recommend a lock down and nothing happens, everyone will say I overreacted. If I see inklings of a threat, say nothing, and we get hammered, they will say I didn't do enough. So, I'm erring on the side of the lock down because at least a bunch of us won't die." I was all in on the initial 15-30 days to flatten the curve thing. I just think it's getting out of hand now and the tin pot dictators all over the country are getting drunk with power. [/QUOTE]
