Would that be the same Goldman Sachs that .... , nevermind.I was on a call with the chief medical officer of Goldman Sachs and he said 70% of Americans will get it, millions will die, it will take the US a decade for the economy to recover. Sounds serious.
meh, what's a few million dead people? It's "just the flu", only about 40x worse.The numbers in China from a few weeks ago had it at about 15%. Obviously it's lower than that, but still significant.
I'm not really sure why some are so eager to downplay it. As a nation, you either take the precautions to prevent massive infection and live with some people whining that it's an overreaction, or you don't and live with people questioning why you sat on your hands.
A 1% fatality rate of 70% of the population comes out to about 2.2 million people.Millions of Americans?
I wish he would bet me money on that.
"Just the flu" except about 30x worse fatality rate. Not sure how some of these math whizzes got thru Ma Tech. Or 60x worse than "just the flu" in Italy.I'm going to leave this here. Educate yourself. This isn't a political matter, even though idiots are trying to make it one.

I wouldn't have made the stupid decisions that Italy made early in the process. You know, the stars of your "non-political" article. There are reasons Italy has more cases than anyone outside China and Iran.I'm glad you aren't making the actual hard decisions responsible for protecting people
I do not envy the doctors that have to decide who the triage neglects. It sounds like their focus will be on ensuring survival of the fittest. The world will learn a painful lesson about healthcare availability as a determinant of carrying capacity.I'm going to leave this here. Educate yourself.

Where else would he talk about it?Maybe I'm wrong and it is OK to talk politics on the sports board.
