"experts" - Did our models predict 1-2.2 million 5dead? My bad. Expert models predict hillary landslide. Oops (deaths, elect)

I don't care about Hillary, lets talk about the virus... Tell me how you know more than the top epidemiologist at the CDC?

Willful igornace and virulent anti-intellectualism are powerful strains in American history.

Yet, the brevity and rapidity of modern media consumption has led to an even more uninformed public certain they have all the answers.

Yeah!!, screw the experts...Let us all follow an ignorant President who governs by impulse, emotion and tweets. Only a twit would succumb to such a path...

And when the US death toll is under 20k....

Or someone compensated for pretending they do.

Here is what the expert tweeted;

"1/4 - I think it would be helpful if I cleared up some confusion that has emerged in recent days. Some have interpreted my evidence to a UK parliamentary committee as indicating we have substantially revised our assessments of the potential mortality impact of COVID-19.

2/4 -This is not the case. Indeed, if anything, our latest estimates suggest that the virus is slightly more transmissible than we previously thought. Our lethality estimates remain unchanged.

3/4 - My evidence to Parliament referred to the deaths we assess might occur in the UK in the presence of the very intensive social distancing and other public health interventions now in place.

4/4 - Without those controls, our assessment remains that the UK would see the scale of deaths reported in our study (namely, up to approximately 500 thousand)."

Yeah, well I guess you haven't gotten the memo that this thing is rising exponentially right now. We have the steepest trajectory of any country in the world. We already have more cases than any country in the world even with other countries getting a good head start.

10 days ago there were 100 deaths in the United States. Now there are 1300 deaths. We had roughly 300 deaths today.

If this virus were to level off today and maintain at 300 deaths per day we will hit 20K by Memorial day give or take.

Even if tomorrow it went DOWN to 100 deaths per day we would hit 20K deaths by early October.

So as your pal Donald J Trump says...........we'll see what happens.

More dangerous, anti-intellectual attacks on expertise. Comparing national political polling that fails to account for the electoral college, with the opinions of experts in pandemics is a non sequitur.
