>>11411653>You don't need 1 million beds if there are 1 million total severe cases.You do understand disease propagation, right? Infection numbers increase roughly exponentially. Sure, we'll "only need 100K hospital beds on day X," but come day X+n, that number is going to jump to 500K, for example. Unless the rate of discharge is higher than intake, the medical system will become overwhelmed. This is what happened in Wuhan and why they needed to build a hospital in a week. It's why they're converting stadiums into disease wards. It's why they're going to build 19 more pre-fab hospitals. The current medical infrastructure CANNOT continuously take in an exponentially increasing number of patients.
>>11411674Nice strawman, dipshit. Of course climate change is real. Where the fuck do you thing you are? /pol/?
>>11411679The point is that although disease spread mitigation is important. You can only do so if people are confirmed to be infected. If someone just thinks, "oh, I've just got the flu," they're going to go around spreading the disease anyways. It doesn't matter that 1 idiot spreads it around intentionally, if there's 100 other people who've yet to be confirmed infected are already doing so unwittingly.
