Fauci said that if we don’t do anything to change it, up to 240,000 US deaths. But he also pointed out that we can change it by actually self isolating, actually not being pig-headed about meeting for church, or stupid about meeting for fun, and did I mention self isolating…? It would be nice if we also found a medical treatment.
Oh, and Mr. Death mentioned that other guy. I don’t pay any attention to him.
Check out THIS nugget of insanity : Georgia’s Governor Brian Kemp gave a press conference on Wednesday, announcing a new shelter-in-place order that’s been long overdue. But Kemp also admitted something that should terrify every person living in and around Georgia: Kemp claims he didn’t know until this week that the new coronavirus could be spread by people who aren’t showing symptoms of covid-19.
“What we’ve been telling people from directives from the CDC for weeks now— that if you start feeling bad, stay home—those individuals could have been infecting people before they ever felt bad, but we didn’t know that until the last 24 hours,” said Kemp.
Governor Kemp, a Republican who took office in 2019 under questionable voting practices, said at the press conference that his top public health advisor, Kathleen Toomey, described evidence of asymptomatic transmission as a “game changer.”
It’s not clear if Kemp is lying about only learning this recently, or if he’s really that uninformed. But the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has been warning about asymptomatic transmission for over a month.
For each 100,000 deaths: 3,000,000 illnesses with 3% mortality rate. The virus has an R-0 of 2 to 2.5, which means upwards of 6,000,000 to 7,500,000 sick.
Last night on AHC, American Heroes Channel, ran a show that originally aired in March of 2017. How the World Ends: Episode 5 Pandemic PandemoniumThey predicted this pandemic. It was no surprise, nor unexpected.
It is questionable if it was ignored by tRump and his administration or not. tRump fired the CDC upper staff, cut the Obama CDC budget, and cut the National Security health position.
In all fairness, if Trump’s inauguration estimates are any indicator, he may have envisioned deaths would number 10 times that. This is, after all, one “businessman” with absolutely no head for numbers. (Come to think of it, what IS that head of his good for?!)

Trump said he felt that he’d have done a “very good job” if only 100,000 die… will he still claim a “very good job” if the number hits 240,000?

200,000 deaths if we do everything perfect from now on, its too late already.
There could be over 2,000,000 deaths.
