Simulating An Epidemic

YouTube video by 3Blue1Brown that simulates how various quarantine measures affect the infection curve.

He has several key takeaways but most importantly, we need to keep the measures in place until the virus is eradicated, otherwise we’ll just have a second wave of infections. I don’t like staying home but I’m more worried about getting sick at the dialysis clinic.

Here’s where I believe President Trump is an asshole. I didn’t vote for either him or Hillary during the 2016 elections. He’s so worried about his re-election that he is willing to tell lies about the pandemic in order to prop up stock prices. Basically trading lives for votes. More people are going to die if we go back to business as usual while the pandemic is ongoing. He should just shut the hell up and let Dr. Fauci talk.
