So double the regular flu? Which we have a vaccine for? Sounds pretty good.

Okay, let’s go with his assertion being right based on a model with current data.
Now, why isn’t the media and others asking China for their real numbers because the ones on record now are bullshite.
Why aren’t people calling out WHO and their colossal failure standing by China?

Aren’t they saying this is the worst case scenario?
Basically that is what they predict if the other major cities in the states go the NY and CT route?

So only about 0.03% of the population. Ramp up the malaria drugs and let's move on. This is getting crazy. If 100,000 do die I would bet that less than 10% are only from COVID

Yeah, human beings aren’t guinea pigs in a lab experiment. There’s no way to know that for sure, or even to remotely know for sure. Humans are capable of making individual choices and taking risks that may benefit them or put them in harms way. But relying on these hypothetical models to inform government policy is dangerous because it most likely is incorrect or off base and it implies more government action, which has its own grave unintended consequences.

That doesn’t even make sense
I’ve already been living how I’m forced to live the last three weeks and have to continue doing so
I’m as prepared as I’ll ever be for whatever this shite is

100k?
200k?
300k?
don't care, not worth killing the country over. and when that happens the death rate will go MUCH higher

Linking Daily Mail is like linking National Enquirer.

To be fair to him, he didn’t come out and say that. He was asked by a reporter looking for something scary to report if we should be prepared for 100k to die
He essentially said that because it is a possibility we should be prepared for it but he hedged that hard and made it pretty clear on that hedging that he doesn’t think that number is coming

Such horse shite.

I don’t believe they think this is what will happen.
Give a way high number so that:
A) people are nervous enough they continue social distancing to insure it doesn’t get out of control.
B) justify the $2TT + we just spent
C) justify the drop in stock market
D) look like you saved the day when it’s only 15-25% of that.
There is no game theory situation where low balling deaths makes any strategic sense whatsoever.
