“He (Rush) gave an update:
2.2 million original death projection in USA
100,000 - 200,000 1st revision
100,000 - 240,000 2nd revision
60,000 current prediction”
I am surprise Rush stated that. I wonder where Rush got his info. Apparently Rush is not watching the White House briefings.
Maybe I misunderstood the White House briefing. The 2.2 million original death projection in USA was if Social Distancing measures was not taken.
If the US practice Social Distancing it would be between 100,00 and 240,000.
President Trump explain why he was taking Social Distancing seriously with the 2M verses 100K to 240K death.
Did I hear the White House briefing correctly?
I know they now predicting the 60000 by Aug because they did not expect all of America to take them seriously.
I’ve seen that 2.2 million number from multiple people that were modeling this virus assuming no protective measures were taken. The fact that Rush other media flu bros don’t understand and know this reflects badly on them.
Back of the napkin: if half of the pop. in the US eventually catches CV, at the lowest CFR of 1%, that's 1,650,000 deaths.
If the CFR is more like what many have predicted / and we're seeing, 3.4%, and half the population again catches it, that's 5.6 million deaths.
On the table I recently posted, on the previous thread, the CFR (ratio) is 3.2.
Maybe even up to 33 million deaths (10%), 1 in 10 of our fellow Americans dying isn't that big of a deal out of our pop. of 330 million, when the alternative is to shut down a nation and destroy its way of life.
I doubt it would be that big of a deal in say communist China, but if we turned our backs, and allowed that many to die in America, would we still be the America we once knew - forgetting the 60 million who have already been murdered by abortionist, of course.
