What If The Models Are wrong?

Go to NRO and read today's Victor Davis Hanson.


I already posted some of it.

Let me recapitulate some of what I have said for some time now;
models work when you can identify and account for all of the variables.
Any and all models based upon biological phenomenon cannot ever be
correct over any length of time because you cannot imitate Harry Seldon,
isolating and factoring in all of the variables, so a model cannot be created.
If, somehow, you serendipitously managed to create such a model, but could not
recreate original conditions, then even if the model was 100% correct,
it would shortly go off the rails. It's what chaotic systems do.
For example, take the Mandelbrot se; it's just a mapping
of how quickly bifurcations scream off into infinity...
 
That says there's 15k hospitalized in NYC but only 22k nationwide. Do you honestly believe there are only 7 thousand people outside of NYC hospitalized with the virus? You're dumb but you're not that dumb.

So you say the tracking group is wrong, so show us the true number.

I didn't say they were wrong. I say your article is wrong.

There's the groups numbers. They don't match what you linked in the OP.

Not surprised your understanding of the Mandelbrot set is this shallow. Really shameful, coming from an alleged mathematician. :eek:

That was Saturday. When you open the "current" tab it's now 28,000 plus.
 
Are the models wrong? Well, we've been told to get ready for the worst week of our lives. The death count in the U.S. is supposed to skyrocket.
It hasn't so far.
 
Joe Biden's cool 60's catchphrase "Oh come on man!" applies here, I think.

I think everyone from scientists to politicians to social scientist extraordinaire Peter Navarro are purposefully using whichever stats create the most social compliance and/or fear.

"It's going to cost $20,000 to renovate your kitchen."

Bill comes in at $17,900...you're the Best Contractor, Ever.
