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.

people have to remember that the regular flu deaths and pneumonia deaths that are typical are way down, from what I have read...

If you're a regular listener to the press conferences they've said countless times that the numbers are based on MINIMUM participation by the public when it comes to following the recommendations. In other words, worst case scenario.

But again EVERY day they thank the American public EVERY press conference for following the recommendations.
