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
Coronagate
Is Rush just stupid on this?? The explanation is that President Trump assembled a top notch team. He then studied and evaluated their recommendations and put in place steps t that would mitigate the virus. OF course there’s LESS death and sickness. THAT’S the plan. When people like Rush go around talking like this they’re really putting down President Trump and essentially calling him a brainwashed fool.
You owe us an explanation.
Hopefully, by the time we get to the summer...
How’s about May.
TOTALITARIANS don’t have to show you any steenkin badges.

Little Hitler Fauci is top notch? Both he and Scarf Lady are tied in with the Gates Foundation. Globalist elites who want to control the masses.
Hey Rush you covidiot—most of us have been locked indoors for the past several weeks, that is why the numbers are lower.
I’ve said it before. I’ll say it again.
If Trump loses in November, it won’t be because of Biden, Pelosi, the economy, the DNC, the enemedia, or a hundred other people, places or things.
It’ll be this moron Dr. Fauci that will do him in.
trump had to act...he did...he did his part....but these governors and their draconian measures is just beyond reason....it smacks of partisanship....
and guess what?...viruses just don't go away...they drift back and are always present....
what do you purpose?....continual shutdown.???
Baloney. IF nothing were done THEN it would have been catastrophic. The WHOLE world took action. Why do you think President Trump is so stupid?
Sorry,Rush but you're wrong.
HERE IS WHY THEY SENT US THE CCWV (Chinese Communist Wuhan Virus)
Everywhere an American looked at an item source of manufacture it came from this country (China). Now that reliance on being its source was being threatened by a change in leadership in America which was a major consumer of those products. When Americans hailed the leaders decision to make many of them in their country. Worse yet opponents to the Chinese regime in power had its citizens protesting its policies since that change in American leadership, They would wave the American flag and present his name when doing so. All of which presented those in power the need to destroy that leader,
Would a runaway plague created by a nation which could threaten populations of an enemy cause them to react by demanding extreme restriction of movement by its population to prevent its spread ? Thus wind up fragmenting its economy.The way this whole thing developed starting with the Italian fashion industry areas controlled by the Chinese commies hit by a runaway CoVid19. Sure looks suspicious particularly when crews of naval vessels somehow wind up being infected by it.
To stop the return of manufacturing of products back to the US that went to China. China backers are using that Trump alleged stock ownership claim as a controlling interest in a product they claim to be totally ineffective when used to treat a disease created to create a severe restriction of movement known as a shutdown because of its transmission .
I propose listening to President Trump...he knows what he's doing.
again, how long do we suffer under totalitarian tactics?....
you must not have any personal hardship...
Exactly
The deaths expected, that Rush is questioning, are those deaths that we were expecting WITH mitigation efforts in effect. Neither those, nor the expected number of illnesses are occurring.
I disagree with you. Rush is right.....tank an economy for what ?.... a fast traveling flu?
