So for 11M ICU cases, you need about a decade. --- End quote --- Damn, you are right, I lost a zero somewhere. Makes it just more unrealistic scenario even if my ballpark numbers would be way off. --- End quote --- The MIT Press Reader came to the same conclusion: https://thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/flattening-the-coronavirus-curve-is-not-enough/ As did Imperial College London: https://www.imperial.ac.uk/media/imperial-college/medicine/sph/ide/gida-fellowships/Imperial-College-COVID19-NPI-modelling-16-03-2020.pdf |

Instead of looking for "magic drug", waiting on Santa Claus with a bag with billions of face masks, and building millions of new ICUs with ventilators made by GM, simply follow the advice which works well: 1. always wear a DIY mask when outside your home, 2. stay at home, 3. do social distancing, 4. wash your hands. Making a DIY textile mask takes a few minutes, you can cook the masks in your pot every day. That's it. And your current ICUs will stay half empty. |

@hamster_nz: As has been said here several times: DIY mask works "good" for droplets you are breathing OUT. Therefore your Country needs ALL CITIZENS shall wear the DIY face mask when outside of home. |

Is anybody else actually wearing a mask? Or just talking about wearing a mask? Leo |
