This Doctor has made some serious math errors.

(1) The USA population is 330 million - not 350 million.

(2) The Doctor claims that 70 million could eventually be infected.

(3) Washington state is the most COVID-19 infected state in the USA. All people who have known exposure risk, recent travel risk, or obvious symptom risk, are being tested. Just 7% of those 17,105 tests were positive, and that rate has been declining for a week.

(4) For the purpose of discussion, let's say 7% of the USA is infected. 7% X 330 million is 23.1 million - NOT 70 million.

(5) The USA "Case Fatality Rate" is 1.6%. That number has been stable or declining for 10 days.

(6) For the purpose of discussion, let's say the Doctor's prediction of 70 million infections is correct. 70 million X 1.6% is 1.12 million. That is not "millions." It is barely 1 million.

Thus the calls for social distancing.

This is the SLOWEST virus to spread on record.

The current flu stain originated about the same time and has already killed tens of thousands in the US alone.

This virus is nothing but gaslighting by the communism to shutdown and take over this country. The sheeple are willing accomplices.
