I cannot believe such numbers. These people have us locked down in our homes and have us under federal people control, where we are under the iron fist of the government, state, local and federal. NY gov says any churches that defy his orders will be closed permanently!!! REALLY???? Screw that stupid Bill of Rights that say freedom OF religion!!! That is the liberals. Their aim is total destruction of the Republic, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights. Everything that has the word “freedom” attached to it. They want the word “control” put in. THEIR control. Control the population. It amazes me how easily and quickly the people just said “okay, we believe you. We are in your control.” The Bible predicts CLEARLY: “When we cry peace and safety, certain destruction will come (or words to that effect)”. Yup, give up every freedom for that ole peace and safety.

Italy at its WORST has had 900 dead, and thats not taking into account some who have died and it turns out to NOT be Coronavirus related..so Italy gets at most 900 dead per day, but we end up with 5K per day, no way!

TODAY - roughly 2-3 weeks into the outbreak within the US, the world is at 40K dead.

100 - 200K as horrific as that would be will likely be far less than what we experience.

We’d be damned lucky to keep it to those numbers. I highly doubt we will.

And yet the total worldwide COVID-19 death toll is under 40K.


you believe the Chinese and Iranian numbers?

oh and they aren’t even counting people that died at home or in Nursing homes in Europe

The deaths you see in Italy for example are Hospital deaths only

The thing is, that could not have been unknown to someone in the Administration, who should have forwarded that information to the President. Same comment goes for allowing incoming flights from Iran and especially Italy, as well as the EU, for roughly a month after published infection data from those countries had started to accelerate. Also, there was a lack of temperature testing and quarantining of flights... it was only China for a while.

That may have sounded good, but it strikes me that it was epidemiologically insufficient, given the knowledge that the CDC and the Executive presumably had.

Our coastlines were supposed to be under 20 ft. of water by 2015. Didn’t happen. This will pass with the same fanfare.

“What I got from the conference was POTUS was saying if the that Fauci/Birx predictions were correct, POTUS is not predicting himself.”

Just a few minutes ago he used the 100-200,000 dead again in today’s presser, in the context of “a very short period of time”.

I don’t pretend to know enough to make any sort of accurate prediction. And no one else knows enough either - though they claim to. Maybe we will all die, maybe this is the apocalypse. But either way, we are drowning in agenda driven BS and hubris.

But I do know we are getting a lot of predictions from the same people who make climate predictions 50 years in advance. People who claim if we all put 1 pound more air in our tires we will save untold amounts of oil, which will alter the rise of the seas blah, blah, blah.

If you have ever done any statistical research you know that on the scale we are talking about here, very tiny “adjustments” of variables cause major changes in output.

You should be and as stated by Fauci and Birx the models are only as good as the data they are based on so garbage in then garbage out. We’ll never have complete and accurate data only predicted data.

What we will know is the number of deaths associated with COVID-19 but even that number won’t tell the true story because what did they actually die from?

We’ll also know from all of the COVID-19 tests that were taken and submitted how many were infected but that’s irrelevant because everyone in the US would have to be tested and all of the results known otherwise it’s a useless statistic.

I am surprised the WH briefing did not use the death numbers of this study since they were using it to predict the peaks. https://covid19.healthdata.org/projections

The study death range is 36,000 to 153,000 with a most probable of 84,000.

Let’s clarify this. The “White House” is not making this projection. Fauci and Birx are making this projection.
