The word that you used there Dr Scarf, 'triangulating'???? What data are you triangulating ??? Or is that just another long meaningless word?
The last time I heard the word triangulating used with any frequency was during the Clinton administration. He was using it to explain something that was usually shady. What does Dr. Birx mean when she uses it now?
The regulations were based on the amount of cases that needed to be reduced in order for the health system not to collapse. Only two figures, in a sense.
Because it wasn’t feasible to test every person in the country, they underestimated how many would still have the disease at the end of the mitigation period, which now has to be factored, as a third figure, into any future predictions as we obtain the data.
I wish they would go over this basic stuff once in a while. They never did explain granular. We had to guess at that one, or look it up. We didn’t all take statistics in college.
