I thought this deserved its own post. It's the start of a thread which distils the report fairly accurately.

We can now read the Imperial College report on COVID-19 that led to the extreme measures we've seen in the US this week. Read it; it's terrifying. I'll offer a summary in this thread; please correct me if I've gotten it wrong.

Terrifying, and in accord with your previous estimates. Definitely needs to be better known that the disease is going to be a long-term threat whatever suppression measures are taken.
