Does the post-peak IHME model seem too optimistic to anyone else? http://covid19.healthdata.org/united-states-of-america/new-york
When I look at countries like Italy and Spain, none of them just neatly go down after peak like IHME predicts.
I predict it will take longer and go down slower.

I think it will take longer, because with the exception of Wuhan, the full social distancing is not perfect -- there is violators, travel, etc. This is especially true once things get a little bit better -- people will want to be out & about.
Just found this thread elaborating on flaws of IHME model. Scary. https://twitter.com/mpmselenic/status/1249096180501483520?s=20
