Фехтование на экспонентах
Mar. 28th, 2020 09:01 amБританский экономист Нил Фергуссон (в Стэнфорде сейчас) написал 16 марта немного про текущую ситуацию. 27 марта ссылка на тот текст попала на глаза американскому экономисту Брэду ДеЛонгу, который высказал свою критичное «ню». Я не хочу и не могу разбираться в экспонентах и цифрах сейчас, но мимо такой забавной переклички пройти не могу.

If the whole of U.S. goes the way of Italy then, adjusting for population, within two weeks there will 95,000 confirmed COVID-19 cases and nearly 7,000 dead. The war-zone scenes in some Italian hospitals will be replayed in San Francisco or New York – and they may even be worse, as the U.S. has slightly fewer hospital beds per capita than Italy.

Someone who wishes me ill sends me this from Niall Ferguson, published on Mar 16. Two weeks from Mar 16 is Mar 30, three days from now. By then the U.S. is likely to have 180,000 reported cases and 3400 coronavirus deaths. I guess the big lesson is: mommas, don't let your kids grow up ignorant of exponentials...
