America's BEST American: Impartial and Bipartisan

Yesterday one of the shortbusser was posting disinformation about this. Par for the course from the right wing trolls.
From the article:
In other words, it is not true that Ferguson "is presenting drastically downgraded estimates," as The Daily Wire claimed, or that he "just walked back the apocalyptic predictions," as The Federalist asserted. But Ferguson did revise one of his key estimates in a way that suggests a lower case fatality rate (CFR) than his group assumed in their modeling.
