Except that it’s consumed at once, not over years.

2020-03-05 17:23:16 UTC  

Obviously yes it matters if it’s a one time use good.

2020-03-05 17:24:06 UTC  

Yes it’s introductory economics. If you had gotten further in economics the actual nuances of s/d would be explained to you

2020-03-05 17:24:11 UTC  

Sincerely, ask a professor.

2020-03-05 17:24:24 UTC  

I know you haven’t finished your degree

2020-03-05 17:25:19 UTC  

Everyone doesn’t buy the vaccine in one day. It’s over years and by different individuals and institutions.

2020-03-05 17:25:41 UTC  

First of all, no.

2020-03-05 17:25:49 UTC  

We’re talking about weeks, not years

2020-03-05 17:25:55 UTC  

Secondly, it doesn’t matter.

2020-03-05 17:26:13 UTC  

Standard s/d curves assume a RATE of market consumption

2020-03-05 17:26:43 UTC  

Here we have the rate changing as people drop out of demand after consumption

2020-03-05 17:26:58 UTC  

Vaccines won’t be finished in weeks, it’s buying time is over years

2020-03-05 17:26:59 UTC  

Like, just ground yourself in reality for a second

2020-03-05 17:27:15 UTC  

Right, the vaccine will be finished in about 18 months

2020-03-05 17:27:20 UTC  

Then the buying time is weeks

2020-03-05 17:27:26 UTC  

No, it isn’t bought out in weeks

2020-03-05 17:27:28 UTC  

Just like polio

2020-03-05 17:27:28 UTC  

It takes years

2020-03-05 17:27:30 UTC  

Ok.

2020-03-05 17:27:42 UTC  

Again, doesn’t matter

2020-03-05 17:27:55 UTC  

The rate of consumption changes with consumption

2020-03-05 17:28:00 UTC  

It does, since the demand curve will stay constant.

2020-03-05 17:28:07 UTC  

Again, no.

2020-03-05 17:28:07 UTC  

The new demand cancels out people who consume vaccines.

2020-03-05 17:28:15 UTC  

Nnnnnnnnope

2020-03-05 17:28:22 UTC  

There isn’t new demand

2020-03-05 17:28:27 UTC  

Only new supply

2020-03-05 17:28:33 UTC  

Think in reality for a second

2020-03-05 17:28:34 UTC  

Well there is, not everyone demands it at the same time

2020-03-05 17:28:40 UTC  

Why wouldn’t they?

2020-03-05 17:28:47 UTC  

Are you confusing demand with purchasing?

2020-03-05 17:29:13 UTC  

Honest question- what do you think a point on the demand curve represents?

2020-03-05 17:29:27 UTC  

Without using the term “demand”

2020-03-05 17:31:19 UTC  

In your own words

2020-03-05 17:53:20 UTC  

@Sophie Nobody demands a good at one singular time. For this vaccine the demand would be across years.

2020-03-05 17:58:05 UTC  

Are you able to answer the question?

2020-03-05 17:58:39 UTC  

You’re wrong, btw- but can you tell me what a point on the demand curve represents in reality?

2020-03-05 17:58:59 UTC  

It’s not a trick question, I just want to make sure we’re on the same page when it comes to what we’re talking about

2020-03-05 17:59:10 UTC  

> Are you able to answer the question?
>Asks 4 questions.

2020-03-05 17:59:45 UTC  

Sophie this is condescending, I'm not doing an QNA.

2020-03-05 17:59:53 UTC  

The one question is: what, in your own words, does a point on the demand curve represent in layman’s terms?
