Are you that dense? Take out the social distancing and see where we are.

The CDC models were assuming only 50% of Americans MODERATELY abided by the recommendations.

Isolation and social distancing Wouldn't flatten out a 2.2 million dead curve.

Take out the hospitals getting 100% reimbursement if they mention Covid on the death certificate. Factor-in no one seems to have flu anymore, it’s always Covid now. Interesting...

Factor-in that the Covid test doesn’t actually test for a virus but for markers.

Lol.....don’t know how dense the person is you are talking about.....but this “model” you speak of only assuming 50% of US population moderately social distancing.....there new projection is 3% of what there original prediction was......

Would they have been able to make a panic of the American people if they used more realistic assumptions in there modeling?? No they wouldn’t have so, they chose to be extremely conservative to have an extremely high projection of death....so don’t fricking tell me those numbers weren’t inflated you dense jackass.

Also I love they based it off of 50% of US population moderately social distancing....wtf does that even mean? Do they give you a baseline of this obviously very important parameter and how that input influences the model? No they just assume everyone will just say oh yeah that sounds good to me, 50% yeah that makes sense and 2.2 million people will die holy frick shut everything down....and then here you come touting their great statistical modeling.....frick off.....if some average Joe made that projection for whatever business and pitched it to your bosses and you were off by 97%.....you would be FIRED. Not even in the same ball park of an estimate
