Much like predicting the weather, predicting the death rate for Covid-19 in the beginning was an inexact science. As more data has poured in the death rate has dropped from 10% to perhaps as low as .04%. Still deadly for sure, especially for those with specific contributing factors but significantly less deadly then first reported.
There is often a resistance to evacuate from hurricanes after multiple bad forecasts that had people evacuate for what turned out to be a minor event. This basically had the entire country in effect evacuate and for a much longer period of time then a hurricane.
Watching the people protest against social distancing in many states and seeing people flock to the Florida beaches has me wondering if the next time in the near future there is another potential pandemic will people comply and social distance?
