“You just WANT to be doom and gloom the numbers come no where near what they were expecting and those are the facts!!!”

I just told you what she actually said, what you are saying is not what she said.

What I said she said is not doom and gloom.

!!!

Alright, this is getting beyond absurd.

Dr. Birx was just up there saying that the UK had revised their death rates down from 500,000 to 20,000.

I had seen a thread here on FR earlier today state that Dr. Fergeson was the lead on the Imperial College study, and he had yesterday revised his number of fatalities down to 20,000, based on the information from the Oxford Study, which said there must be a huge number of asymptomatic cases.

But here is Dr. Fergeson on Twitter this morning, saying he has not revised downward:

1/4 - I think it would be helpful if I cleared up some confusion that has emerged in recent days. Some have interpreted my evidence to a UK parliamentary committee as indicating we have substantially revised our assessments of the potential mortality impact of COVID-19.— neil_ferguson (@neil_ferguson) March 26, 2020

2/4 -This is not the case. Indeed, if anything, our latest estimates suggest that the virus is slightly more transmissible than we previously thought. Our lethality estimates remain unchanged.— neil_ferguson (@neil_ferguson) March 26, 2020

3/4 - My evidence to Parliament referred to the deaths we assess might occur in the UK in the presence of the very intensive social distancing and other public health interventions now in place.— neil_ferguson (@neil_ferguson) March 26, 2020

How does this get so jacked up?

It's not like these positions are just a little off, they are WAYYY OFFFF!!!! (that was for you, Trump Kit Cat Girl)
