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!
The point is they also said
“the model is just predictive a lot can change.”
“models are only as good as the assumptions they are built on”.
which means don’t get stuck on the numbers.
They are stating numbers because people have been constantly trying to pin them down on numbers, but the numbers are qualified by their other statements about the models that the numbers come from.
Fairly easy to understand.
Here’s video of DR. Fauchi talking about not getting stuck on the numbers, and that they want to “drive it all the way down” meaning way under the minimum the models suggest.All this is context to the modled number;

Dr.Birx “we’re hoping the models are not completely right, that we can do better than the predictions are”
