RUSH: They owe us an explanation. Now, I touched on this yesterday. We are owed a huge explanation. So, 2.2 million deaths. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God, 2.2. We gotta shut it down. And if we mitigate, maybe 240,000 deaths. If we social distance, we stay at home, if we shut down, if we wear masks, we do all this stuff, maybe a hundred thousand to 200,000, maybe 240,000. Guess what?
Sixty thousand. Fauci Slashes U.S. Death Projection, Raising Hope for Reopening. The doomsayers get to get away with everything. Fauci Slashes U.S. Death Projection, Raising Hope for Reopening. What is wrong with this headline? Does Dr. Fauci have anything to do with reopening? Yes. Thats whats wrong with the headline. This is a Bloomberg News story. Top infectious disease official credits social distancing. Im gonna start calling BS on this.
Now, dont misunderstand. Im not saying its not important. Im not saying its not relevant. But there is no way social distancing has made the difference in 2.2 million down to 60,000 dead. There is no way that social distancing made the difference from 240,000 dead projected now down to 60,000 dead. And what do you bet that number gets revised down in the coming days? There has to be something else going on here, and it has to be the projections were wrong in the first place because of the models, and we know that they were wrong.
But these guys get to revise their projections and hold on to their expertise status throughout the entire process. I just dont believe social distancing has suddenly changed the data that lowers the forecast death toll from 240,000 to 60,000. Were not stupid here.
And Ill give you another bit of evidence for why I dont believe this. California, oh, man, is this a huge See, I Told You So. Stanford researchers are now thinking, you know what, maybe it was herd immunity. Maybe the virus has been in California since last fall, and maybe in California theyve developed an immunity to it, herd immunity. Most of the people that have been exposed to it got antibodies cause it makes no sense that in a state of 40 million the death toll is still under I forget what it was 750 a few days ago. Its phenomenally low.
In the state of Oregon practically statistically zero deaths. And its not because of social distancing. They told us, they tried to tell us that social distancing is what made the difference in California. California had a two-day head start on social distancing over New York. New York has more deaths than Italy. Are you telling me see, were not stupid here. And you arent, either. Youre telling me that a two-day head start on social distancing in California is the reason why there are so few deaths in California compared to New York?
The data is bad. The input data was bad. We told you this my first day back. When I found out that that U.K. modeler could change his outcome from 500,000 dead in the U.K. to 20,000 dead simply by factoring in social distancing, then what good was the first model? And if the model has that wide a variance, if you can input one data point and create this massive shift in outcomes on the model, what goods the model?
But these people get to hold on to their expert status throughout all of these revisions. They havent been right from the get-go. But the doomsayers are never wrong because whatever ends up happening, they can claim credit for it because of their mistakes. Well, yeah, of course we overshot, but because we overshot we scared the hell out of people, people social distanced, people stayed home. Of course our work is responsible for this. Its just the way it works. And everybody got scared. Cant blame em. Everybody got scared into using the data that was trumpeted, put out.
But we are owed an explanation.
One of President Donald Trumps top medical advisers slashed projections for U.S. coronavirus deaths on Thursday, saying that only about 60,000 And, by the way, I dont mean to say that 60,000 is insignificant. Those are people. They are loved ones. They are part of families. Im not trying to be cavalier about it. Im simply talking about the statistics and the numbers.
Remember, we started with 2.2 million, and they did that on purpose so that they could show great success, 2.2 million, now 60,000. Look at the great work. No. Thats not the way to look at because 2.2 was never an active, real number, and we shut down a $22 trillion economy because of it. And now the death is 60,000, which is on par with the number of flu deaths in America every year.
They told us that this week, remember, This is gonna be oh ho, the next two weeks its gonna be armageddon, its gonna be the apocalypse, its like gonna be bad. And in these two weeks theyre revising everything down. Remember, they said these two weeks, you better expect the worst. We may not have a country after these next tweaks. There may not be enough people to go back work. Its gonna be bad, its gonna be really, really bad out there.
Now theyre revising the numbers down, the death numbers down during the apocalypse week. Its a Bloomberg story, by the. The falling projection, the result of aggressive social distancing behaviors Americans adopted to curb the spread of the virus, may accelerate Trumps effort to develop a plan to urge Americans to leave their homes and return to work next month.
Ill tell you something Im a little worried about. How many people are gonna be scared to leave their homes? How many Millennials are gonna be scared to death to leave? Theyre scared to death anyway. They make up the snowflake generation. Theyre scared by a shadow of a conservative on a college campus. It doesnt even take a real conservative to scare em on a campus, just the shadow of one. And if theyre scared of a conservative shadow on a college campus, are they gonna be scared to go back to work? Be concerned. Well have to wait and see if it happens.
So heres Dr. Fauci. The real data
The real data? Oh, were talking about real data now?
The real data are telling us that it is highly likely that were having a definite positive effect by this mitigation things that were doing this physical separation so I believe we are gonna see a downturn in that. And it looks more like the 60,000 than the 100,000 to 200,000. But having said that, we better be careful that we dont say, OK, were doing so well we can pull back.'
Uh I (sigh) Folks, theyre gonna have to explain this, and I know how theyre gonna do it. The doomsayers are gonna tell us, Hey, theyre already setting the stage for doing it, our policies, our requests for social distancing and all that made all the difference. I dont
If were gonna say that, that means we have to trust the computer modeling data and thats the data thats been all over the place, 2.2 million, 200,000, 100,000, 240,000, 500,000 U.K. The numbers have been all over the place, revised down
This is why I stopped listening to him years ago.....if he can’t connect the dots, then he has no value....he is not a conservative, he is a bush league Republican
Holy cow. Amen and thank you, amorphous.
For proving somebody here understands the meaning behind the destruction of our healthy economy, the combination of all deaths into one big covid category, the lockdown, the growing list of UNpurchaseable items, the disruption of the education process for what it's worth, the attack on our food supplies and supply line and the attack on our right to worship God along with the rest of the affected rights and forcing the will of the People to yield to the criminally insane third world bosses who were invited in to visit by criminally insane leftist idiots and believed it when the democrats told them they were in charge and they are surrounded by UNstoppable, powerful, invisible juju to fight the invisible enemy.
Okay, so, we’ve gone from liberals calling us Russian bots to us calling either other Chinese bots. That’s great.
And of course we don’t know if China is telling the truth. They rarely do, so...
Nobody is popping champagne corks. So there is still exponential growth in deaths. However, that growth is much smaller than was predicted as recently as four days ago. I get all that. What is your point here?
I would highly recommend you watch Bill Whittles new YT video on this subject, then lets discuss.

You are an effing retard. Are you wearing dirty underwear while chained in your mommas basement for your own well-being?

Want to comment on the above?
That’s what I was responding to.
Exactly.
“Theyre lower because we now have therapeutics being deployed that we didnt have four weeks ago (or didnt know we could use.)”
Exactly.
In Italy 8% of the deaths were medical personnel. We are not seeing that here. I suspect many Dr’s and Nurses are taking Hydroxychloroquine as a preventitive.
This is great news and will allow for the economy to be opened sooner rather than later.
10% of the workforce has lost its job in the last three weeks. Do you have any idea what they economic impact of this will be for the country? Do you know what the chance of death from Covid is for each American?
17 million people out of work now. 13 million out of work in the Great Depression.
So what is your genius plan, mom?
Anybody can throw pot shots from the peanut gallery.
It’s the easiest thing in the world, and means no more than the chattering of chimps at the zoo.
TELL US YOUR GENIUS FIX-IT PLAN, MOM.
Go on the record. Enlighten us.
What’s your plan Travis?
And why are you so angry? What’s the matter with you?
Russia hoax cover up and now comes the Covid19 cover up after these idiots (Fauci-Birx) have put out hysterical info that lead to our voluntarily crashing our economy.
Well, it doesn't sound like a Chinese bot, it sounds like an irritated Freeper.
Dead people don’t spend money. For that matter hospitalized people tend to spend money only on medical expenses. So unless you work in the medical or funeral industries it’s probably in your best economic interest to slow this virus down.
The new estimate of deaths is 60,000. I am not saying it’s the flu - much more serious for groups at risk - but this number is not that different than flu deaths for some years. We are trading off saving some number of lives (in the thousands now not the millions according to the “experts”) against the safety and security of 330 million people.....
me either
