re: This is Birx and Fauci’s escape hatch

There is no way 100-200 thousand people are dying of this in the next two weeks in this country when we are just under 3900 last I checked. Especially when we know that hydrochloriquine, Zithromax and zinc are working so well in places where its been used and now it's been green lighted by the FDA to use across the board.

I think the change in tune to doom and gloom is so that when we get to the end of two weeks and we're nowhere near the predicted number of deaths Trump can open up the economy and have political cover in doing it. They'll stress continued social distancing and hand washing etc... and they'll warn seniors or at risk groups to be especially careful but for the rest of us it should be back to work and a more normal life.
