White House coronavirus response coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx on Monday warned that up to 200,000 people in the U.S. could die from the coronavirus outbreak if "we do things almost perfectly."
In an appearance on NBC's "Today," Birx stressed that the Trump administration remains "very worried" about every city in the United States and the possibility that the virus could get "out of control." She also noted that some metropolitan areas "were late in getting people to follow" social distancing requirements and that it had an effect on the virus's spread.
"If we do things together well, almost perfectly, we could get in the range of 100,000 to 200,000 fatalities," Birx said after being asked about U.S. projections related to the outbreak. "We don’t even want to see that." She added that the administration's models show a worst-case scenario of between 1.6 million and 2.2 million deaths if the U.S. were to enforce zero restrictions on travel and gathering. Asked about whether 100,000 to 200,000 deaths in the U.S. was a best-case scenario, Birx emphasized that a best-case scenario would be "100 percent of Americans doing precisely what is required."
"But we’re not sure based on the data ... that all of America is responding in a uniform way to protect one another," she added. "We have to factor that in."

This mass induced hysteria ends with the election of a Prog President who will calm the hysteria and start up the new economy.
At the nully hacienda we’ve been effectively locked down since Feb 3rd.
What’s another month to save 2,000,000 of our fellow Americans?
Agree
Rather than posting a youtube link...do you mind just telling us what she actually said?
Thank you.
When will we reach the 200K/Dr Birx number?
Well, I sure do hope and pray their all hero's, every one...
I don’t know if the death growth rate is flattening or if it’s just noise. The growth rate had been over 40% about seven days ago. Unless the worldometer shows a late spike in the next 30 minutes or so, three of the last four days will see growth rates of under 25%. That’s not enough to say there’s a clear trend, but one can hope it continues.
That's her "high end" for the first wave, effectively over by June 1.
Projected deaths per day can be viewed at the interactive graphs here. (https://covid19.healthdata.org/projections)
Today - 607
March 31 - 722
April 1 - 846
April 2 - 981
April 3 - 1,121
April 4 - 1,264
April 5 - 1,412
April 6 - 1,559
April 7 - 1,700
The projections assume the continuation of strong social distancing measures and other protective measures.
durrrrrr doan truss nobuddy!! git off’n my lann you revenooers!!
And still sneaking in the 2.2 million dead in the US figure that she and Fauci borrowed from the discredited Imperial university report in London.
There you go! Much, much better, I mean, it's still just gibberish, but at least you are out of the way of the grown-ups.
Good job Blubbery-on!!
I totally agree. I’m sick and tired of her peddling this doomsday BS.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Yesterday was the first time I heard her say any such thing. Probably because she keeps an open mind and is constantly evaluating evidence presented to her. Just like our incredible president. Who trusts her.
Man would I love to see the press conference between a lot of folks here and Trump. He would roast your asses alive.
No way we reach near that number. This is why Trump was forced to back off of his Easter opening! She wants the Feds to shut down the entire nation!
Look at the rate of deaths occurring! Does it seem that 200,000 are going to die before the seasonal change?
*up to
Which means you do not trust Trump - who trusts Birx and Fauci and has said he does and has called them brilliant (and I will venture they are a damn sight smarter than you) - so - since you do not trust him - you probably need to head on over to the DUmp.
Really? She’s the one who has been telling the media they need to stop pushing worst case scenarios, and she also said a lot more than what is in the headline...did you read the article before commenting, and do you know who this person is?
No. 1 & 2 cause of death annually in the US...
Coming in at No. 3 is MEDICAL ERROR - Which, BTW, took my precious son's life at 16 years of age in 2013.
Each year, medical error takes approx 250,000 lives in the US!
Have I screamed about shutting down the hospitals?
And now, consider who is giving POTUS advice on this "panic-demic?" Who we are listening to now???? Have we all forgotten about commen sense and good judgment? These humps are part of the third most dangerous influence of US life, but we'll go against common sense and good judgement....makes no sense to me.
Who’s we?
I full well know who she is.
She’s wildly off because she is following incorrect models.
