They are not models. They are simply basic math multiplying numbers they don’t understand.

Models use multiple parameters, curve fitting (requires Calculus), linear equations, population models, statistical mathematics, data sources, etc. Modeling is much more complex than simply taking a value today and multiplying by 365 to come to an annual number. That’s not modeling.

Every time Dr. Birx mouths the word “models,” she appears to experience a subjective sense of exaltation.

The same thing happens whenever academics use the word “studies.”

It’s the religion of intellectualism.

What data are you going to “fit a curve to”? I don’t think you want to “fit a curve” to # new deaths so far?
