they will never admit they were wrong, they will just say the lock down stopped it.

How much additional financial hardship to millions did this fool cause? So now it’s oops? Think before you shoot your mouth off.

Merely a couple decimal places off? What is a couple orders of magnitude error?

Still probably more accurate than the climate change models.

And no shortage of freepers bought it hook, line, and sinker!

In two days there is going to be a half million dead Americans if we don’t do something!

Nancy and company should send a letter to those guys/gals too.

On another note, did anyone hear Trumps corona press conference today? He specifically said (and sounded none to happy about) that when this first came out the numbers he was being told were crazy large and that thankfully that hasn’t materialized.

I think Trump knows now, what he knew then, that this wuflu is not as bad as the hysteria has made it out to be and that his enemies tried to use it against him.

Of course Trump being Trump, he handled it the best he could. Take the advice as given to buy time to ensure his gut feel was right. Now? Back to work!!!!

Hard-core Social Darwinists approve of seeing the lower social strata made poorer... Fleecing the rubes is a time-honoured tradition after all. (rolls eyes)

Of course they (and a hell of a lot of people on this forum) are going to have to shuck and jive and try to bloviate that line of bull a lot.

Because the mockery will be relentless and there never will come an expiration date.

Because it will always be an appropriate time to point out that the empirical evidence contradicted a disease that was going to prove historical in mortality rate and a disastrous lack of integrity was necessary prerequisite to not thoroughly evaluating that evidence.

Like the people here who insisted that the voters who refused to vote for Mitt Romney and and John McCain over securing the border, the panic pushers will be called upon to answer for their rhetoric even years from now.

Divide the totals , walk them back to present day. That should give you the magnitude of previous calculation, but what really counts is how many days difference? Exponentially, it may be not that many exponential days.

Why wouldn’t a “journalist” want to reveal the simple math to round out the breaking news? Especially during this critical and anxious point in time?

We did all this, all over the world, because of one team’s prediction?

Sheesh.

I have to wonder if it was a computer model...

Yes, probably the same model which gave the dire global warming predictions. Garbage in/Garbage out

Jesse Waters on Fox News confirmed today on Fox News what I have already posted here a few times. Jesse was quoting from a doctor who has been treating covid-19 patients. The doc is now convinced how to avoid getting infected. Besides all the obvious precautions, MOST IMPORTANT THING is to avoid touching your face (eyes, nose, mouth, ears) until you had a chance to disinfect your hands thoroughly.

My original theory behind not touching face was that the skin on palm and fingers is tough and virus cells cannot easily penetrate. But if virus cells are on your hands due to touching anything other infected people might have touched and you scratch your nose or bite your nails, the virus gets into your body.

"they will never admit they were wrong, they will just say the lock downs stopped it and saved the states who did it.

California and NY State will say their brave governors saved their states in spite of the evil Trump.

Then, they will depose of Biden and nominate and run these 2 liars/losers governors for Potus and Veep.

Had anyone told the Governor of NY, the Mayor of NYC and the Mayor of LA? Didn’t think so. Will the MSM ask these Democrats why they feel the sky is falling? NOPE.
