Breh. Every. Damn. Day
Don't wear masks then next week it's wear masks
It came from bats then next week it was from a lab
Warm weather will kill it. Oh wait no it won't.
Amounted expected to die goes from 100,000 to 200,000 to 60,000.
shyt is all over the place
Thread it a bit muddled I agree but we are getting enough info here to see through the mist. Mostly. It's getting harder as time passes though.
> Don't wear masks then next week it's wear masks
Everyone should wear masks. The more people who do it the better the mass effect.
> It came from bats then next week it was from a lab
Does it matter? For immediate purposes unless we get proof and a possible cure/vaccine from knowing then it doesn't matter iMO.
> Warm weather will kill ("disable") it. Oh wait no it won't.
Unlikely although hot+humid it might slow spread given that it might shorten virus viability times when outside of a host.

The models have feedback loops. Most future events do. The R-naught number is empirical and changes based on what we do.

It's like the difference between physics ("science") at pre-school and physics at the cutting edge. In school they teach you science as if everything they are telling you is a certain fact. At the cutting edge, many things (and ultimately depending on findings everything) can be called into question. Things are viewed in terms of likelihood to be a true fact and everything is subject to future revision.
Unfortunately that cutting edge discovery process for covid19 is taking place in public right now and we are all being exposed to it.
