    Fact of the matter is, she's also just pulling a number out of her ass because there's no way to have an accurate number at this time and its also ignoring deaths that have been missed. Carry on internet hero.

    Even if the absurd 25% number is accurate... that would still be ~75,000 deaths... a far cry from the sub 12,000 you promised us... more wrong information from thethe, big surprise.
    Sub 12 was for NY but that's fine.

    I didn't assume democratic leadership was as bad as it was. My bad.

    Just like Trump, you can't ever admit you were wrong...

    This video is very disturbing. I put it up not to pick on Sweden but to make another point. People fear some forms of death more and are willing to pay a higher price to avoid those kinds of deaths. This is something to consider in weighing the costs and benefits of various policy measures. Some here have made the point that not all lives should be weighed equally. I don't disagree. But not all deaths are equally horrific. Suffocating to death would be one of the more horrific ones on any person's list. You get an idea of how much this is feared by people around the world from the data showing many quite sick people avoiding hospitals. They and their families are choosing to deal with a stroke or heart attack at home rather than go in for care. This is not necessarily irrational. It reflects a desire to avoid a certain kind of death.

    With respect to weighing some lives more. I don't entirely disagree. But I want to push back against that some. When I coached my sons' baseball teams, I noticed that the parents of some kids never drove them to a practice or showed up at a game. Not once. Or only very rarely. It was usually an older relative--I assume a grandparent--who stepped in to fill the void. Those grandparents are GOLD. They made a difference in those children's lives that went well beyond allowing them to play Little League. Some of them were quite old and frail but they were there for their grandchildren.

    Birx actually DIDN'T say that. You're doing what you have done this entire time and take a general range to it's extremes and act like it's a fact.

    I don't think so. You both were careless. That's it.

    But I do have higher expectations of the Times than I have of you or Aaron Ginn.

    Their mistake notwithstanding, I thought their front page yesterday powerfully captured the loss of life that has happened in our country.

    No. Ginn and I made a simple mistake.

    The Times either intentionally put a name that wasnt true, or was so useless in their research that it should call into question the rest of their reporting.

    Larry Summers interview on the crisis. A few weeks old, but very insightful and provocative.

    The medical journal The Lancet reported on Friday that patients getting hydroxychloroquine were dying at higher rates than other coronavirus patients.
