Dr. Birx: ‘We Underestimated Very Early On The Number Of Asymptomatic Cases’
Daily Wire ^ | 5/3/20 | By Daily Wire News

Posted on 05/03/2020 12:19:21 PM PDT by conservative98

White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx told Fox News on Saturday night that the U.S. significantly underestimated the number of asymptomatic cases that existed of the coronavirus.

“I think we’re learning every day about the virus and how it interacts with us as human hosts. And that’s been very important to constantly be triangulating data,” Birx said. “I think we underestimated very early on the number of asymptomatic cases. And I think we’re really beginning to understand there are people that get infected that those symptoms are so low-grade that they don’t even know that they’re infected.”

"... if I think I am smarter than Trump’s task force."

I'm smart enough to know that the task force has spent about 3 trillion dollars of the nation's wealth and that we don't know yet whether we got any value from it.

In other words, they didn’t have a clue, but they sure faked it well.

Precisely.

Having a fancy degree and a long bureaucratic career as an “expert” does not necessarily make one smart.

Wouldn’t it be nice if we had people making decisions that are destroying millions of lives and the economy and our constitutional rights based on something more than wild ass guesses?

The word that you used there Dr Scarf, 'triangulating'???? What data are you triangulating ??? Or is that just another long meaningless word?

“I wish she would stop with the annoying VOCAL FRY!”

Thanks. “Vocal fry.” I was trying to recall the official name for that annoying little baby voice with every sentence ending in an invisible question mark. (Christine Blasey Ford’s fake affect.)

Fauci is 80. He’s gonna retire and write a book as soon as he can.

They should ban Birx and Fauci until they can come on and tell the public of what they got right and the proof to support it. Other than that, they should hire clairvoyants, palm readers, and political pollsters to brief the public on COVID19.

Keep them, and just get some second opinions. A rational, scientific medical discussion among Fauci, Birx, and a few distinguished physicians and epidemiologists who differ would be enlightening for all.

Worth repeating.

“A particular FReeper who has a burr in his saddle about my posts keeps asking me if I think I am smarter than Trump’s task force. At this point I have to say yes. Some of them anyway.”

Why couldn’t you be smarter than Trump’s Task Force? George Carlin is; he actually understand immunity.

The last time I heard the word “triangulating” used with any frequency was during the Clinton administration. He was using it to explain something that was usually shady. What does Dr. Birx mean when she uses it now?

So just wave your scarf at the thousands of people who have lost everything because of your little under estimating.
