Let us define your terminology:
noun: whistleblower
a person who informs on a person or organization engaged in an illicit activity.

Now what is the illicit activity? I am not with IHME and that is the modeling site the reckless Nevada state government and others are using. If I were with IHME and reported this, sure, it would probably meet the definition of a word that you did not understand in the first place.

You can choose to ignore it but understand you are only ignoring the fact that your Governor and everyone else is lying to you. Democrats typically live in an alternate reality and I understand that so if you are infected, seek help.

This is not about any “internet ego” this is about actual data. Hopefully you are not going to be one of those taking an empty bed but I assure you there are MANY empty beds in ICU and other areas of the SNV hospital system. Good day.

I just posted new IHME numbers from today in another thread and compared them to yesterday's numbers. There were major downward revisions once again for the United States and Nevada. I cannot believe policy has been made based on those forecasts.

You should be more supportive. I am not suggesting the IHME numbers are gospel. But what is the alternative? You cannot really do any kind of linear projection as you know the process is not linear. And I would also point out the models adopted by a number of municipalities are more pessimistic than IHME.

And as you find data that argues with the IHME you do a correction or try and refine your own model.

And the rub is that you have to react to a model. The only choice you have is which one. And if you get it wrong there can be a horrendous price to pay.

Mitigation is working. The curve is flattening. The peak has been brought forward to April 12th. Stay home. Wash hands. Don't get too excited. They may still extend the lockdown into May depending on numbers. Lifting lockdown early may cause an acute second wave of infections. The more we follow social distancing the quicker we get through this.

Comeon...you know better than that. He restricted flights from China for unrelated non Americans. But the flight of US citizens, Permanent US Residents and the families of both went merrily on.
