Italy Could Be Free of New COVID-19 Cases by May 16, Experts Predict

Quote:

---

taly may be virtually free of new COVID-19 cases by the middle of May, statistical research has indicated
Experts from the Einaudi Institute for Economics and Finance (EIEF) carried out calculations using data from the Civil Protection Department on the rate of infections, concluding that the disease could be practically eliminated in the country within the period May 5 to May 16.
"We are going in the right direction and we must not change our strategy in the least. The return to normality will be a gradual process... the goal is to contain the situation now, and prevent further epidemic outbreaks, such as those seen in the North, and restore as much as possible a normal lifestyle," Higher Health Council president Franco Locatelli told reporters at a press conference.

---

Holy damn this would be awesome. Let's hope. It was terrifying there.

---

What percentage of their population died? I'm just trying to understand what your threshold is for being terrified.

---

Over 12,000 have died thus far in Italy from the virus.

Based on CDC data, new cases for today's reporting period showed an increase of 16.1% - that's the lowest increase on a percentage basis since mid-March. This still largely is a New York metro problem: it plus California and Washington have 58.4% of the nation's cases.

Wrong. Those three states' cases make up about 50% of US cases currently. Meaning it is spreading faster everywhere else. Florida now has almost as many cases as California and will probably surpass California in a few days. Tiny Louisiana also almost has as many cases as California.

New York and New Jersey make up 52% of all cases and 50% of the deaths. They are consistently making up that many of the daily cases. Today they've already reported ~8500 new cases which would make them #1 in the world for new infections on most days. Furthermore, it's nearly a 30% increase over yesterday (6,600). And the reporting day isn't over.

Reporting day isn't over until midnight GMT (8pm EST), but we're already sitting north of 17,000 new cases, with over 10k from NY/NJ.

Most importantly, no other American city duplicates NYC's population density and number of international visitors. So I would guess NYC will be struck the hardest by this. The rest of the country has had more time than NYC so I would guess that the containment measures will have an effect that they did not in NYC.

But we can expect problems elsewhere.

That is what I was thinking too, but Cuomo keeps warning us that it's coming our way. Very sad for NYC and area. It is a very vibrant city. Downtown San Francisco is also very densely populated, my co-workers son works and lives in the center of the City, they have sheltered for a good while now.

Quote:

"This is a tragic development, but not an unforeseen one," Waco Mayor Kyle Deaver said in a statement Tuesday afternoon.

"I call on all of our community to keep the victim's family in their prayers and respect their privacy. Also, please continue doing everything possible to prevent further spread of COVID-19," he said.

"As we know, particular sectors of our community are acutely at risk for serious symptoms that may ultimately prove fatal. We continue to take every action to protect and to inform vulnerable populations and we encourage our healthy residents to bear in mind the potential cost of the virus' spread."

I will say that the Bay Area was the first to shelter in place and DiBlasio was pretty lax at the beginning. That difference may be showing up now.

What is very revealing is the complete clueless nature of reporters trying to ask intelligent questions concerning models. Math is beyond their comprehension. All they know is politics. Anything scientific or mathematical related is way beyond their pay grade. Regardless of how much you dumb it down for them, they still don't get it.
