Dr. Deborah Birx on Thursday provided encouraging coronavirus numbers suggesting that some of the predictive models were incorrect.
“There’s no model right now, no reality on the ground, where we can see that 60-70 percent of Americans are going to get infected in the next 10-12 weeks,” she said.
Without specifically naming the Imperial College, Brix referred to models that predicted there could be 500,000 coronavirus deaths in the United Kingdom and 2.2 million deaths in the United States.
The scientist of the model revised the estimate of deaths in the United Kingdom to be roughly 20,000 people or fewer.
Birx said that the actual data coming in from other countries were different than some of the direst projections.
She noted that in major countries, there was never an attack rate of over one in over 1,000 people.
“The predictions of the models don’t match the reality on the ground on either China, South Korea, or Italy,” she said.
Birx also addressed reports that raised the alarm of New York City hospitals running out of ICU beds, ventilators, and creating “Do Not Resuscitate” (DNR) policies for patients.
She revealed that she spoke with health officials in New York, that there were still ICU beds and 1000-2000 ventilators available, and that there were no DNR policies enacted.
“We don’t have evidence of that right now,” she said.

The parameters are NOT known. Were NOT known.
Maybe you have data unknown to everybody else?
You are retarded.
And ignorant.
What happens tomorrow to great extents depends on what the people of our country do today. It’s difficult to predict human behavior on a national scale at a particular point in time. A Society is always changing, and many unexpected events can change human behavior on large scales.
If true, I can think of a few I have come across here that also fit the bill...
Clearly not likely.
It already is.
Just look at your posts. They are the very definition of a retard.
You are very sadly funny.
QED...
You are pathetic AND stupid. Not to mention a paid shill.
QED^2
Smoking - I don’t think you understand models. A model may be great, but if the inputs/parameters are garbage, the results will be garbage even if the model is perfection. Models and inputs are two completely separate things.
U R useless.
Jus’ sayin’
As long as I am of more use than you will ever be on this site or anywhere else, that is fine. Chortle!
