So double the regular flu? Which we have a vaccine for? Sounds pretty good.

Okay, let’s go with his assertion being right based on a model with current data.
Now, why isn’t the media and others asking China for their real numbers because the ones on record now are bullshite.
Why aren’t people calling out WHO and their colossal failure standing by China?

Aren’t they saying this is the worst case scenario?
Basically that is what they predict if the other major cities in the states go the NY and CT route?

So only about 0.03% of the population. Ramp up the malaria drugs and let's move on. This is getting crazy. If 100,000 do die I would bet that less than 10% are only from COVID

They would never do this, it might make Hillary look bad.

Yeah, human beings aren’t guinea pigs in a lab experiment. There’s no way to know that for sure, or even to remotely know for sure. Humans are capable of making individual choices and taking risks that may benefit them or put them in harms way. But relying on these hypothetical models to inform government policy is dangerous because it most likely is incorrect or off base and it implies more government action, which has its own grave unintended consequences.

That doesn’t even make sense
I’ve already been living how I’m forced to live the last three weeks and have to continue doing so
I’m as prepared as I’ll ever be for whatever this shite is

And we can’t question Fauci, he’s always right.

Jesus fricking Christ.
This is where the “muh flu” people are at now.
BTW, that would be triple the average flu season, and that would be in spite of containment measures never used in living memory.
Btw, that projection assumes a quarter of people get infected with coronavirus who typically get infected with flu in a given year.

100k?
200k?
300k?
don't care, not worth killing the country over. and when that happens the death rate will go MUCH higher

Get ready for some of the most retarded rationalization you’ve ever seen. There are people here who are not used to being wrong and don’t know how to handle it

The original worst case, if-we-do-nothing scenario from the CDC was 1.7 million.

Yes... the model is based on current data which also includes NY and Jersey which is skewed... as the other 48 states aren’t showing those large numbers..

Lesson learned. I will go sit idly on the couch waiting for my release date from home.

Goal posts keep moving in a good way. At first we were told 1-2MM fatalities. Now, 100K is worst case scenario. And Fauci is a worst case kind of guy.
If we top out at 60K in 2020, it will basically mirror a bad flu season.

Keep in mind that number is what could occur with these massive social distancing measures.
BTW, I think we’ll see a lot people call China out on the other side of this.

Linking Daily Mail is like linking National Enquirer.

To be fair to him, he didn’t come out and say that. He was asked by a reporter looking for something scary to report if we should be prepared for 100k to die
He essentially said that because it is a possibility we should be prepared for it but he hedged that hard and made it pretty clear on that hedging that he doesn’t think that number is coming

Only if your entire knowledge is based off of reading headlines as opposed to the actual materials.
The estimates you refer to aren’t inconsistent or refinements as time goes on. They are different outlines of estimates generated from different assumptions.
You remove all government social distancing mandates coast to coast and reopen everything tomorrow, 1-2 million comes back into play.
