People get stuck on only part of what is said and leave out context. That’s lie of omission. Dr Fauchi and Dr. Birx also said;
“the model is just predictive a lot can change.”
“models are only as good as the assumptions they are built on”.
The UK model ours were based on was revised down by a factor of 25 last week! All too often these models are GIGO, garbage in garbage out.
If Patient Zero sneezed in Wuhan in November, this Chinese Virus already bounced around New York City and had a complimentary virus sent back with a "Merry Christmas".
Any mortality numbers are useless without knowing the total number who have already been infected and overcome it. Comorbidity is critical as well, not to downplay the virus but to make sure those with additional risks are treated accordingly because quarantining everybody is not an answer. In fact, quarantining everybody only makes it worse - sure, close the college and send the sick kids back home to the family. Shut down New York City and watch them all head to Florida to be with the grandparents.
This is a Blue State Virus pushed by bankrupt states such as New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Illinois, and California that don't care what they do to the economy because they haven't been a part of any of the growth under Trump.
If you want proof of their hypocrisy, anyone who really cared about spreading a deadly illness would be:
-for stopping illegal immigration, including building a border wall, instead of encouraging "sanctuary cities"
-for putting mentally ill homeless people in controlled environments instead of scattering them everywhere and suing businesses for trying to keep them away from their doorways
-locking up individuals who defecate in public instead of suing municipalities that try to stop such behavior
-for banning disease-ridden reusable shopping bags instead of banning single-use plastic
-against forcing taxpayers and drivers to subsidize germ-carrying mass transit
-against deviant behavior which spreads contagions
-against high-risk individuals donating blood
...and yet the leftists in these bailout seeking states have pushed for all of these detrimental behaviors.
The blue state agenda is only going to get worse as more businesses and individuals flee them. The only thing that won't change from these states is how far they'll go to lie or force you to give them your money.
How many businesses are already not renewing office leases or held off on new leases in New York City because they can't afford to operate in an environment where they get locked out for months while the state plays the bailout game? ...and what do you think their departure is going to do to the desperation level of these socialists watching them go?
This is just the beginning of the next level of socialistic globalism.
For crying out loud, so many here are like the press with Trump trying for a gotcha moment.
What is your point and so many other’s point here???
She said it!
I’ve been listening to her since this thing started.
Of course it was based on a model.
But in this instance, she believed that number!!! She seems like a very impressive woman and doctor so I am going with what she said.
I’ve asked many before and I’ll ask you. What is your point?
I trust my judgement on character. Trump obviously trusts this woman. And do you think he is simply listening blind and not assessing the studies himself?
Yes, I hope and pray she is wrong. I’m sure she feels the same. But for now I will trust doctors like her that I can listen to with my own ears and also know they are trusted by Trump. I believe they are solid experts. I believe they want to save lives. And that is A Lot of lives!
