Covid-19 shutdown measures prevented about 60 million US infections, study says

The study, published Monday in the scientific journal Nature, involved a modeling technique typically used for estimating economic growth to measure the effect of shutdown policies across six countries: China, South Korea, Italy, Iran, France and the United States.

US coronavirus death toll surpasses 100,000 03:25The researchers did not estimate how many deaths might have been prevented."Our analysis focuses on confirmed infections, but other outcomes, such as hospitalizations or deaths, are also of policy interest. Future work on these outcomes may require additional modeling approaches because they are relatively more context- and state-dependent," the researchers wrote in the study.

"Using a model based on data from the number of deaths in 11 European countries, it is clear to us that non-pharmaceutical interventions -- such as lockdown and school closures -- have saved about 3.1 million lives in these countries," Seth Flaxman, a senior lecturer in the Department of Mathematics at Imperial College London who worked on the study, said in a press release on Monday.

PaHouseDems So what exactly did we learn? The coronavirus only survives in small businesses, voting poll places. The coronavirus only survives when you lock yourself up away from society. What “cures” have WHO and our DumoRats Gov implemented…mail in ballots that’s the cure for coronavir

Must be factual if a new model told us. Why would Americans have any reason to believe otherwise

Our response has been ineffective plain and blatantly simple

Didn’t you see this?

This is not a numbers game, those who just want to make it look like the fatality rate would have been lower. That will remain an unknown. This figure means that those could have possibly been intercepted and those people may not have gotten covid-19. Wisdom

Because we need another study based on total hypothetical premise?

All the shut downs lost jobs fall on fake news like cnn you do what you are told too. Dont you know we pick up your key words now, you are not news you are talking heads for deepstate, you know Barack, soros, Clinton's, all the regular players of corruption

Granted, the US would have had more cases if it hadn’t closed down. But 60 million? Sweden didn’t close at all and has 45K cases so far which is 0.045% of their population.
