Dr. Forman holds three academic positions at Yale and also is head of radiology in the ER in the local hospital. He isn't the only one saying this.

This actually pretty much tracks South Africa and London. A peak after four weeks.

2. Thanks, but I'll do my own research, "Radiology 4 Dummies." NT

The Three Stooges in "Dizzy Doctors"

3. I used to do my own research in the stock market. After losing

a bunch of money I now just do index funds.😀

5. I'd rather not talk about it.

But since you brought it up, what was I thinking?

4. Neat - A radiologist, just like Scott Atlas!

I'm sure Dr. Forman is more reliable than Atlas, but I think I'll look to epidemiologists for guidance on COVID-19, just the same.

6. Actually he's a professor of Public Health at three different

graduate schools at Yale.
But I wish you well.

11. Yeah, I looked up his CV before posting.

He works in the Yale School of Management, and is a professor of radiology, economics, public health, and management. So, sure, he’s got more on the ball than Scott Atlas, for example.

I still would rather hear from epidemiologists — such as Mike Osterholm, Celine Gounder, Peter Hotez, or Anthony Fauci.

7. Many modelers were saying last week

that NYC was likely going to peaks this week.


It makes sense as our cases starting going up before many other places in US.

[Tomconroy]

10. Yes..It was predicted. Looks like the east and west coasts were

The first to get hit and then it will move inland. Dr. Forman predicted CT will peak next week, which is of interest to me.

8. The new case numbers for NY State have been dropping for a few days.

Fingers crossed.

[Raftergirl]

12. Cases in my county (Albany) have come down significantly from late last week when we had

1000 and then steadily declining to where cases over the last 24 hours were 300.

Hospitalizations are up.

It’s still, as has been the case always, that it’s the unvaccinated who are getting hospitalized.

Of course, it’s likely not counting most rapid tests done at home, even though county has set up a website to report home test results.

[Scrivener7]

13. Yes. I wager there are many, many more cases than we are hearing of, but

hopefully that proportion of reported to not reported is staying the same over time.

[Raftergirl]

15. Likely.

Cases in all the US were reported to be 1 million a day today, but the real number is likely closer to 2 million cases a day.

[Scrivener7]

17. Mind blowing.

[Tomconroy]

14. In SA hospitalizations kept increasing for three weeks after

their cases peaked. They just began to drop significantly yesterday.

[Raftergirl]

16. And their hospitalizations never got very high

And numbers on vents or even supplemental oxygen have remained low.

We still have some Delta in the US, also. And a very high percentage of people with comorbitities, like obesity, while SA doesn’t have nearly as many.
