I think if the original operation had gone as planned, (i.e. if POTUS didn’t know about it ahead of time and hadn’t already shut down other release points) it would have been much worse. The morbidity of the virus isn’t that high but apparently spreads much more easily than the typical flu. If only 1% of people who have it die, but more than half the population has it, it could have been everything the Fauci’s of the world were predicting. Because POTUS was prepared, it was nothing like what it could have been and left the deep state with no other option than to try to hype as much as possible.
The boom is likely to be Flynn’s exoneration IMO. Big news in and of itself, but even bigger when you consider that it sets the stage for the next phase. Once Flynn’s exonerated, POTUS can start putting the focus on asking how far up the set up of Flynn went.
I understand all the “What-if” arithmetic.
I also understand the President has to take credit for saving a lot of lives.
Personally, I don’t agree with the math of the California doctors either.
In my opinion (hard-science snob) doctors are smart people who were not good in math in school, so they went towards biology and medicine rather than engineering, economics and finance.
BOTTOM LINE: The health care system is no longer in danger of being swamped. IT’S (way past) TIME TO RETURN EVERYTHING TO NORMAL ... and accept a higher death rate among the elderly until this thing completely shakes out.
