Hey CC,

I worked in Pharma foe 40 years.
When we had outliers, we would show both sets of data...with and without.

That way we can analyze the difference and why.

The so called journalists are ignorant in the basic fundamentals of science. They have no clue about statistics and data analysis. They don’t understand the graphs or the language used to describe the data sets. Basically all they do is regurgitate their ignorance on a daily basis.

Deb Birx explained it was a generic chart that they superimposed the numbers on and that the long tail to Aug was not valid. That was one of the reporter’s questions.

Being used in hospitals across the country.

Oh. Thanks. I didn’t catch that.

500K was the prediction if everyone went on with their everyday business as usual (going to work, going to the pub, fottball matches, dates, restaurants etc etc).

20K was the prediction if we made changes, ie social distancing, people working from home etc.

It's not rocket science.
