Well considering the death toll as off today is 33,166 I think he should give that fancy college degree back!

Ah now that I looked at who's in the video it all makes sense. Del Bigtree is a well known antivaxxer and so is the OP.

The folks that benefit from the hysteria have largely benefitted from the high numbers and panic and now need to walk the numbers back. They will be declaring heroism and stating "we acted out of an abundance of caution" when it reality thirst for power, greed, and control were their underlying goals.

Be prepared. Gavin Gruesome has seen the CO2 reductions from all the Stay at Home driving reductions. In the next year or two, expect a Stay at Home order to fight global warming with government hacks once again being declared essential and most taxpayers non essential.

Nah... they need the taxes. They will use it as a push to take our trucks, guns and freedom, and otherwise trample our constitutional rights. I think this state might be red again soon however. Used to be and can be again
People vote out on emotions, they're not going to be in a good mood when he tries to recoup the state budget. Most dems I know, even diehards, swear the party lost their vote with Pelosi's latest game's. Add in the fact they now realize they have been lied to for years about gun laws.....

Social distancing fail

PPE fail

Communications fail

Using a flip phone from 2001 To video the whole encounter. Priceless.

I expect, within the next few weeks, a sudden and dramatic growth of the virus in the US coupled with a predictably large growth in mortality in the coming weeks.

Big cities with their tight living are going to be especially hard hit.

China didn't lock down Wuhan out of "an abundance of caution"...

Many in the US continue to live, work and especially travel without regard to the consequences to our society...

I look forward to being wrong on this topic.

I was shocked after watching a piece on OANN regarding migrants in India fleeing cities in search of work due to coronavirus lockdown. The situation in the U.S. looks like a walk in the park compared to India...

Time will tell. Libs in the meantime will paint a miserable landscape and then back off later. Since they know panic sells. And they love taxing on fear.

Well, its already at 33,000+ and rising. I would have to say this man's projection is already in trouble. And as far as that "Hey, they're old, have underlying conditions and would die anyway" stuff goes, would you want to infect your mom, dad or grandparents by that logic? Would you like a younger generation to write you off when you finally get to your "golden years?"

Exactly. Some Libs on this Board too.

Perhaps you could have Kestryll run a filter to weed out "Libs." That way everyone on this site will be carbon copies of each other; there will be no alternative opinions, no dissension and absolutely no need to discuss anything. And there'd be no loss! They'll still be gun owners, still support 2A, and best of all they'll never bother you with their silly, liberal statements anymore.

Imperial vaccine Co. guy from the UK who published a paper that was used in implementing global public policy has reduced his projected death toll from 500,000 to less than 20,000 and "they would have probably died anyways because they are old and have underlying conditions..."

Nial Ferguson revised his numbers down again on Friday to just over 5k. He also stated that those people would most likly have died before the end of the year anyway.

We've been bamboozled into the biggest economic catastrophe in history.

Notice it said "experts" but then it was ONE guys predictions

Lots of people acting like this was THE PREDICTION for the effects
There are a # of experts @ NIH & CDC and as far as I know they have not retracted their predictions

This guy had the worst case scenario and people act like everybody were using his #s so all the #s that are being used by OUR government to make decisions must be false FAIL!!!

Those graphs circulating with the curve showing how hospitals would be overwhelmed are based on his predictions. Many, many governments used his predictions to guide their reactions to this.

Dr. Fauci said a couple of weeks ago this would kill 2.2 million Americans. Today he says 200k

Wake up, they are all revising their estimates because they were based on bad data and assumptions.

Meanwhile the globe has been plunged into economic disaster by what's essentially a hoax created by the 'experts' at the WHO, CDC and NIH and folks like Ferguson.

'experts'

*points to a guy on youtube

Is that better or worse than all the "experts" referring to twitter posts

[SW1917]

"Dr. Fauci said a couple of weeks ago this would kill 2.2 million Americans. Today he says 200k"

Please show where he said "would" or was it maybe "could" confirmation biases?

"There are things called models, and when someone creates a model, they put in various assumptions. And the model is only as good and as accurate as your assumptions.

And whenever the modelers come in, they give a worst-case scenario and a best-case scenario. Generally, the reality is somewhere in the middle. I've never seen a model of the diseases that I've dealt with where the worst-case scenario actually came out. They always overshoot."

IMHO, it is a little too early for victory laps or even significantly reduced infection/mortality estimates...

A few weeks to month from now, after testing samples a larger part of the population, we will have much more accurate data on which to base estimates.
