Fauci lowers U.S. TrumpVirus death forecast to 60,000, says social distancing is working

PNWest

America's BEST American: Impartial and Bipartisan

Remember PNWest has predicted 50,000 deaths from the TrumpVirus, hopefully even less. I knew that they told Trump some number close to that so that he could claim that he did better. The 100,000-240,000 number was always fake. Meant to impress the shortbus followers.

Apparently those people who told Trump a higher number vary greatly and come from all over America. Or is it the Washington Post who fed Trump a higher number so he could take credit for it being lower?


Some of the projections for covid-19’s spread in the United States have been grave. Aforecast produced last month by Professor James Lawler of the University of Nebraska Medical Center on behalf of the American Hospital Association, for example, put the potential death toll at hundreds of thousands if efforts to mitigate the epidemic fail.
Another forecast, developed by former CDC director Tom Frieden at the nonprofit organization Resolve to Save Lives, found that deaths in the United States could range widely, depending on what percentage of the population becomes infected and how lethal the disease proves to be. Frieden, who oversaw the U.S. response to the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic, the 2014 Ebola epidemic and the 2016 Zika epidemic, says that in a worst-case scenario, but one that is not implausible, half the U.S. population would become infected and more than 1 million people would die.

His team put together a simple table that looks at various scenarios using case fatality ratios ranging from .1, similar to seasonal flu, to .5, a moderately severe pandemic, and 1.0, a severe one. The infection rate ranged from 0.1 percent of the population to 50 percent. That put the range of deaths at 327 (best case) to 1,635,000 (worst case). The deaths would not necessarily happen over a month or a year, but could occur over two or three years, he said.


Maybe, just maybe, the higher estimates are actually medical in nature and NOT political?
TDS is for real people!

No. The Washington Post reported the fake numbers that Trump was giving out.

Try again. Why be so lazy? Those sources have nothing to do with Trump and are nowhere near the White House.
You’re more interested in partisan BS and a conspiracy theory than the truth. Pretty stupid opinion to hold in the light of blatant evidence to the contrary.

The only people calling this global pandemic "Trump virus" are the communist Chinese government, and the American left death-cultists. That's not a coincidence.
