Yep. But the DNC will pounce on any dire statistics. As with gun control, they need bodies to advance their agenda ... discounting when dead bodies are their agenda as with abortion.

Fauci already committed himself saying the economy is no concern of his.

So the Spanish flu killed over 2 million Americans when America had a population of 103+ million and this one will kill less than a hundred thousand with a population of 327+ million... Hmm!

That should make us all feel that much better about the coming economic worldwide depression that will likely last a decade of more... And result in a million or more American deaths from poverty and economic strife.

It was all worth it in the end... Right?

See, now we're getting somewhere. We need more people to wake up and realize the advantage given to patriots during the great CV scare of 2020:

- border controls
- travel restrictions
- moderated sanctuary states
- DNC 'illegals first' policy dead
- proglib 2A adoption
- re-homed domestic production
- import tariffs
- lower oil prices
- undeclared cartel operations
- $8-10T to invest/re-direct US economy
- China sanctions/repatriation
- etc

For the cost of perhaps a few $trillion here and there - all sitting in Trump's back pocket to be used at his discretion - Trump has completely re-shaped the national dialogue.

For example, in order for either Newsom or Cuomo to effectively run, they now have to adopt the Trump 'America 1st" platform. Think either of them will promote the idea that illegals should get free education and healthcare? LOL That ship done gone and sailed pardner - it died on Friday, March 13th.

No money for the elites if this thing can be ‘cured’ with a dozen 3 cent pills made off patent by a dozen companies

They need a designer patent pending drug that costs $100 a pill cause I mean, that is how you make bank

I don’t mind projections being changed as actual data comes in. We do that with most things in life. Also, I’m prone to worst-casing projections, too.

That said, there is nothing wrong with assessing the strength of your data collection and being honest about it if you think it has been crap up to this point.

"I think the American public have done a really terrific job just buckling down and doing those physical separations and adhering to those guidelines ... models are really only as good as the assumptions that you put into the model," he said.

Bullshit. The original GUESS was 1.1 TO 2.2 MILLION DEAD AMERICANS.

There is no amount of human separations that can change an accurate model by a factor of 3667%.

If any one said, "My prediction is 100% accurate, withing a plus or minus factor of three thousand, six hundred and sixty seven percent {3,667%}", they would be thrown off of the stage.

There is only one word for this...bullshit.

According to Rush Limbaugh, so does Trump. Rush has let his true colors regarding Trump come through. He despises Trump. Just called him incompetent.

I agree

This was a demonstration that globalism just doesn’t work

We need borders, domestic production of necessary supplies/medicine, travel restriction to/from sick regions etc

All of this was a demonstration of 3 decades of failed bush/clinton/obama policies (globablism) that never can work.

We should leave China to manufacturing cheap plastic McDonalds toys and leave the rest of it to us.

All of this will take time and certain industries should be prioritized over others and I know President Trump is the man to get this done.

A worse than normal flu season isn't worth destroying the worlds economic balance...

Right now, things are peachy keen... The government is handing out money hand over fist and we'll all end up on our feet... The problem is... When the money runs out, and it will run out... And you or your neighbor who formerly lived in a house, had a good job, had a future for your children, etc... Find yourselves penniless with only food handouts from your local government funded food bank... That's when reality will set in.

The depression wasn't a figment of somebody's imagination or some movie you watched on TV... It was real, with real starvation, real death and very real depression... That is what lies on our horizon.

oh... so basically what us labeled Flubros have said all along then, that it would be about the same as a typical flu season in terms of deaths.

Dr Doom and Dr Birx also want a vaccine, why, because Birx’s daughter Laura is on the Bill Gates Foundation board..gee commie media maybe talk about THAT lil tidbit! Look at how they are fudging the numbers..so basically if you get a heart attack, get sent to the hospital, and you cough while you are there, and drop dead, they label it a coronavirus death

Trump was elected on the very platform that is now de facto imposed. However, for 4 years, the deep state conspired, spied on and illegally tried to block and prevent Trump from carrying out this nationalist mandate.

And then, by some incredible miracle, the DS overplayed their hand by allowing two MD experts (DS agents) to sanction giving Trump (near) dictatorial powers. How loudly are proglibs and media now exclaiming the classic Home Simpson "DOH!" expression? LOL

Who doesn't love a good chess game, where the opponent never sees the coup de grace coming?

Thank to President Trump and the team he put together to keep this so low. IF nothing were done the death and illness would have been catastrophic. As such President Trump can now run in NOvember as having literally saved millions of lives through his quick and decisive actions.

It's that low ONLY because President Trump took the action needed to keep it that low...
