Dr. Doom recently revised projected coronavirus deaths to around 60,000. He was saying that we were going to see three to four times this number just a short time ago.
Anthony Fauci, a leading member of the Trump administration’s coronavirus task force, said Thursday he thinks the U.S. death toll from the virus could be much lower than the 100,000 to 200,000 first estimated by the White House.
Fauci said on NBC’s “Today” show that given widespread mitigation efforts, the death toll will likely be closer to 60,000 as the U.S. now has more data about the growth and spread of the virus throughout the country.
“I believe we are going to see a downturn in that, and it looks more like the 60,000 [range] than the 100,000 to 200,000,” Fauci said.
Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, credited social distancing practices being implemented across the country for helping reduce the spread of the virus and in turn help lower models for the estimated number of deaths.
“I think the American public have done a really terrific job just buckling down and doing those physical separations and adhering to those guidelines. … Models are really only as good as the assumptions that you put into the model,” he said.
Keep in mind that this guy went from saying that the coronavirus wasn’t going to be a problem early in the year to claiming that millions could die, to slowly backing off on those projections as the data began proving those projections false. He’s literally been wrong every step of the way even though his sole job is centered around the analysis of infections. Imagine being that shitty at your job. Either this man is totally incompetent or he has been intentionally spreading fear for some sort of nefarious purpose.
But if we suspend disbelief and assume that this new projection is somehow accurate, we are looking at a situation that isn’t much different from flu seasons we’ve seen in the past.
Alex Berenson says it best here.
Nobody says COVID-19 is not real, that it can't tax hospitals or kill people, esp. if they are over 75 or have comorbidities. But right now the best CURRENT projection is for 61,000 US deaths. That was the 2017 flu season. Why have we shut the country?https://t.co/OMStr4jd6i

Fauci is claiming that the reason why the death totals are so low is because Americans are doing such a great job social distancing themselves from one another. But the projections he was promoting all had social distancing built into their models.
This shows that this fool has been hoaxing the public with bullshit models and statistics in order to spread maximum fear and panic. It’s understandable that your models would be off a bit, but these numbers have been consistently wrong by enormous margins.
And I didn’t realize this earlier but back during the 1980s, Fauci promoted all sorts of hysteria about AIDS and lied about it. He falsely claimed that it wasn’t a disease that primarily affected homosexuals due to their disgusting lifestyles fueled by drugs and anal sex. So based on his track record, it is no surprise that he would be spreading fear and doom about the coronavirus. He’s had substantial experience hoaxing the public with scary infections.
Dr. Deborah Birx who has been a fixture at these coronavirus press conferences alongside Dr. Doom even admitted that they were inflating the coronavirus death statistics!
The federal government is classifying the deaths of patients infected with the coronavirus as COVID-19 deaths, regardless of any underlying health issues that could have contributed to the loss of someone’s life.
Dr. Deborah Birx, the response coordinator for the White House coronavirus task force, said the federal government is continuing to count the suspected COVID-19 deaths, despite other nations doing the opposite.
“There are other countries that if you had a pre-existing condition, and let’s say the virus caused you to go to the ICU [intensive care unit] and then have a heart or kidney problem,” she said during a Tuesday news briefing at the White House. “Some countries are recording that as a heart issue or a kidney issue and not a COVID-19 death.
“The intent is … if someone dies with COVID-19, we are counting that,” she added.
It’s become clear that Fauci and Birx have played major roles in hoaxing the public and helped fuel a mass hysteria that has destroyed the entire economy. It is utterly shameful what they have done.
I’m sure when the 60,000 number doesn’t prove out they’ll revise their models again to claim that 50,000 or 40,000 or 30,000 will die. The whole situation is utterly ridiculous.
