Appearing Monday on AM 1030 KVOI Radio, Dr. Robert Redfield, the Director of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), predicted that the death toll from the Chinese coronavirus will be “much, much, much lower” than the models have projected due to Americans following social distancing recommendations.

Surprise,surprise,surprise!

[ChicagoConservative27]

Are these computer models based off the price is right. LOWER!!! NO, HIGHER!!! You went to high and lost the new Cadillac.

[FreedomNotSafety]

Didn’t the CDC orginally say it would be similar the The Flu? The CDC is being criticized but in the end they may have been the closest to calling this correctly. Which means panic and hysteria was uncalled for.

[ArcadeQuarters]

And the lower number is PROOF they saved us!

[Flick Lives]

...predicted that the death toll from the Chinese coronavirus will be “much, much, much lower” than the models have projected due to Americans following social distancing recommendations.

Now they'll use the "social distancing" angle to over for the fact their computer models were off by a factor of 100.

See! Surrender your liberty, and you’ll be safe.

(Or maybe they scared the heck out of people with overblown estimates? Naw, that can’t be it).

[Texas Eagle]

See? Totalitarianism works!

[trebb]

Dem’s on suicide watch...

[Still Thinking]

No, they’ll be much much much lower because you were chicken littling for political reasons and you were wrong all along, like anyone with common sense and no agenda would have told you

[dadfly]

yeah. much lower, not because our model was bull crap, but because we bureaucrat/technocrat experts were right.

[mosaicwolf]

The CDC follows right behind the CIA, and FBI with no credibility.

[Mouton]

Look now for a spate of reports of how “even though” survived the virus, there are serious health concerns leading to calls to keep the country closed.

[Howie66]

DemocRATs and Media Pukes heads are exploding all across the fruited plain.

[gibsonguy]

Without a National Shutdown!? How can this be? /s

[Buckeye McFrog]

so....is he saying that we f***ed-up? Or that Debbie Birx can’t do math?

[a fool in paradise]

“oops, Trump’s fault!”

[tinyowl]

" ... due to Americans following social distancing recommendations."

Good news of course and most of us expected that, however there is a VERY VERY VERY BAD thing in that statement.

It is NOT social distancing that accounts for the bulk of the good numbers, but the WEAKNESS OF THE VIRUS.

These were OVERBLOWN BAD MODELS from the beginning.

Why does that matter?

Because NEXT they will tell us: SEE, it was an apocalypse, except that government modeling and lockdowns, and American COMPLIANCE, saved us - else all was lost (nothing was ever lost.) Now we must do the same with the climate.

But this was NEVER an apocalypse. The lie is that the models were ever accurate at all.

Watch for the left to claim this proves their climate models, and proves that humans must comply ... or else we'll all die ... just like we almost did of Covid, had the gov not stepped in.

[FirstFlaBn]

Where is Fauci demanding a controlled trial to confirm this?

Suddenly, anecdotal is back in fashion.

[Buckeye McFrog]

And the lower number is PROOF they saved us!

This is ALL about DC Bureaucrat ass-covering. Setting themselves up as heroes so that there won't be any nasty investigations into how badly they dropped the ball on this.

I've been dealing with these weasels for so long I know them like the back of my never-nicotine stained hands.
