... The U.S. government’s foremost infection disease expert says the United States could experience more than 100,000 deaths and millions of infections from the coronavirus pandemic. ... “I would say between 100,000 and 200,000 cases,” he said, correcting himself to say he meant deaths. “We’re going to have millions of cases.” But he added “I don’t want to be held to that” because the pandemic is “such a moving target.” ...

Facts aren't fearmongering.

Lots could change this.

• The social distancing could change it for the better.
• Effective treatment could change it for the better.
• A preventative medicine could change it for the better.
• A vaccine, though not likely anytime soon, could change it for the better.
• Coronavirus (yeah there was one) parties by idiots who listened to flubros and didn't take it seriously could change it for the worse.

Feel fee to end with anything you want. Meteor strike, massive earthquake, you name it.

The key word is “could”. Anything could happen.

Fauci is an Obama official.

Trump is an idiot for keeping these Zero Heros around.

Every single bullet point contains the word “could”.

Wal-mart must have had a sale on that word and he bought them out.

[babble-on]

I’d say this situation is a bit more immediate than a meteor strike, but that’s just my opinion.

[cuban leaf]

HAHAHAHA!

[grey_whiskers]

He's not an idiot; he's politically trapped.

How can he change course midstream to get rid of a man who is a legend in his own mind and a hero to the Press, who is the second third smartest person to have ever lived, behind only 0moeba and Hillary?

It would prove OrangeManBad™ is in over his head, panicking, and lashing out.

[DannyTN]

“could” is an excellent word. It shows potential, is suggestive of action.

I like it!!!

So we only have 100K-200K deaths. Lock down is keep the numbers low.

Somebody hug RBG and give her a wet one. Rand?

[DannyTN]

So then, why the hell are we on lockdown again?

Because whatever the numbers end up being, it would be much worse without the lockdown.

A lot of people direct us to this site for the latest coronavirus information: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

However, go to their parent site to see all sorts of stats updated in real time. It exposes this for the low priority it should have.

https://www.worldometers.info/

We are being duped.

This is all fear-mongering. it’s just a flu, bro.

It’s all a big conspiracy to destroy the American economy.

Go out and party and mingle. Nothing to worry about

btw, that’s being sarcastic

[cuban leaf]

Makes me want to grab a quick lunch and the Restaurant at the End of the Universe. I hear they have a killer brunch buffet as well.

[central_va]

it’s just a flu, bro.

Women and children not hardest hit.

[SanchoP]

But he added “I don’t want to be held to that” because the pandemic is “such a moving target.”

Yippeee! More fearporn!

Because whatever the numbers end up being, it would be much worse without the lockdown.

True. So how come we don’t lock down every year because of the flu?
