I think one reason for the early skepticism of the CV's threat is that we were told (1) that the CV was introduced into the US in early January AND (2) that the incubation period was 5-14 days AND (3) that it was unlikely to be worse than the common flu AND (4) that the general public did not need to wear masks. Health authorities were saying these things.

And if you looked at the CDC graphs for January to mid-March for CD deaths and new cases, the line (which was not even a tangible curve) was almost flat along the base line until March 12th, when there was a visible rise. Before then, and even for a couple of weeks longer, the authorities seemed to be correct in their optimism.

On another post, I showed how few deaths there were even as late as the end of March. The early data in the US did not suggest what was to follow if the information we had been given was correct.

Or perhaps, the stuff we did prevented the spread. Why is that so difficult to agree to?

I am absolutely stunned at the number of seemingly intelligent posters who are so “tied” to a model. You think because the circumstances changed, that lower numbers indicate a lie.

That has to be an example of the most close minded, pig headed type of thinking there is.

It doesn’t seem like a lot of you...but there ya go.
