Exactly. It’s like the fig professor you had who has never had a real job teaching you something. Then you get out in the Real world and it doesn’t match. Happens all the time.

Got it. I think people misinterpreted your post.

Hmm, seems like if the models that influenced our policy were grossly incorrect then we should be changing course.

I would demand an apology from all of the posters who have sanctimoniously defended Fauci and his "expertise" against those of us who have been stating that he was exaggerating numbers and causing a needless panic... But then, they probably don't believe this either.
Some people are so hard up on "science", and never figure out what a phony landscape that community can be. Listen to doctors who have dealt with these things and understand trends. Never trust the people who have "Dr." next to their name, and all they do is talk and agree with other "scientists". These are the same types who are telling us the world is overheating, and that we're all going to die of melting ice overflow.

The first part about how they walked back the 500,000 number to 20,000 is incorrect.
LINK
The models are still hopefully wrong, though.
edit: As the link says, the numbers for there being less than 20,000 deaths if the UK locks down are literally in the original paper. No new information or changes were made when he gave the 20,000 number.

I agree. She is a perfect combo of doctor/motherly bed side manner.

Honestly, if Birx and the rest of the team are saying that locking down a country and implementing social distancing measures has no real effect on the number of deaths and number of infections, then why have they been doing it? On the other hand, if it does have an effect, then what is the point of saying that models for what would happen if we do nothing don't seem to match up with what happens in the real world when we take aggressive measures against the virus?
If they are serious about this argument, and they are right, then we should open back up the country tonight, and stop doing any social distancing. If they are full of shite then they can go back to their same argument about how we need to keep doing this until Easter.

Hold on, Cuomo was screaming about needing 20 thousand vents and Trump only sent him 400 yesterday.
This is all BS. You heard it straight from her, we have empty ICU beds... media are liars.

Muh curve!!

fricking amazing...NOTHING, NOTING, NOTHING adds up on this shite. NOTHING.
Look at total worldwide numbers...They are just a fraction of the US numbers for H1N1, which Obama handled by playing golf. H1N1 had similar death percentages now that testing has started. I have been saying this since day one. This is a scam to shut down Trump's economy. Let's get this shite finished and start this Country back up.

So people on the internet using actual numbers were more accurate than "experts" using made up numbers. I'm shocked.
Too late though. Governors and mayors got a taste of the power they usurped from the people in the name of this "emergency." They will not be quick to give it up.
