Do you think the 2.2 million number was exaggerated. That was with no mitigation and safety measures
Watch the video, starting @ the 35 second mark.
I don’t know where the video got that 1.1 million stat with social distancing because that’s sure as hell not anything I ever heard. I recall the 2.2 projection if no actions were taking and I remember models coming out on the regular that forecasted weeks ahead based on tracking the course of the virus. My question wasn’t answered though... I asked if you thought the 2.2 number is exaggerated or accurate? It’s a pretty simple calculation if you multiply the death rate by population
Well I can't debate with you on what you heard or read. I can say that this is what I remember reading, was that even with lock downs and masks, that we would have millions die.
Now of course as they used real data over their apparently made up numbers, the projections got more accurate.
But even then, those 'more accurate projections' were only more accurate to what we now know were false data.
We know for a fact that hospitals were intentionally over reporting deaths. Also we know that the number of infections were greatly under reported.
We know this for a fact. The data shows this.
The hospitals were reporting deaths of people who died with other illnesses, as dying of Covid. Why would they do this? The Covid assistance bill, gave out more money to hospitals for Covid deaths, thus every single government run or private hospital in the country, had a money incentive to report any death, as a covid death.... and the data shows they did.
Additionally we know that the number of infections was greatly under reported, because the CDC found evidence of Covid-19 anti-bodies in donated blood. This shows that the number of people infected, is massively larger, than the number of infections known.
So we are over reporting deaths, and under reporting infections, and even with those numbers, the rate of death from the illness is less than 1%.
In short.... this is ridiculous.
This leads back to the original projections, which honestly... I think they were just made up lies myself. I think self-important fake scientists used this to invent a freak out session to gain attention and money to themselves.
If they actually believed what they were posting.... that's actually worse. Because you can fix immorality in the system by firing and replacing immoral people.
If these people were not acting in self-interest, and were using the absolute best science and data available, to come up with such ridiculously wrong crap.... then that tells me the entire system is corrupt and broken, to the point the people in it come up with unbelievable trash, and think they are doing good work.
