Ridgewood NJ, Dr. Deborah Birx on Thursday provided encouraging coronavirus numbers suggesting that some of the predictive models were incorrect. White House coronavirus task force coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx cautioned Thursday against models that predict alarming increases in coronavirus infections and deaths in the U.S.
Dr. Deborah Birx speaking on the irrational hysteria caused by the Imperial College London study on the spread of Covid-19 compared to actual data. This study has informed the policy decisions already made by policy makers, governors and others since it was released. The ACTUAL data tells a very different story
The United Kingdom that originally predicted 500,000 people would die from the virus and has since been revised down to predict 20,000 deaths in the U.K. She said the data the government has collected does not show that 20 percent of the U.S. population would be infected with COVID-19, cautioning against predictions that say so.
“When people start talking about 20 percent of a population getting infected, it is very scary but we don’t have data that matches that based on the experience,” Birx said.
“There’s no … reality on the ground where we can see that 60 to 70 percent of Americans are going to get infected in the next eight to 12 weeks,” Birx later continued.
Birx, an HIV/AIDS expert from the State Department who was brought on to coordinate the federal government’s response to the coronavirus, noted that 19 of the 50 U.S. states are showing a persistently low level of coronavirus cases despite reporting early infections. These 19 states each have fewer than 200 cases, Birx said, and are still working to actively contain the virus rather than mitigate its spread.
“That’s almost 40 percent of the country with extraordinarily low numbers and they are testing,” Birx said.
She’s lying and faking the numbers to look good.
You people have no idea what’s coming…
and you are ??????????????????????????????????? any evidence or just talking Bull shit???
James, I’m afraid you have a few sufferers of TDS on your blog. It’s way more dangerous than Covid 19.
yes ,its New Jersey
This is amazing what’s going on. This is worse than 1987 With the aids epidemic.
You have to be kidding me, this is all media driven
Corona virus is no joke.
It is unpleasant and has the potential to kill.
.
That said, there are WAY MORE painful and lethal diseases currently in circulation that are unpleasant and have the potential to kill in much larger numbers.
.
We should address the coronavirus, but the current reaction is hysterically overblown.
.
So which is it what should we do.
Although impossible to do, I think if all of us could be tested, we would find that the majority of us have it, or have had it, and we got over it with a little bout of coughing that we thought was allergies.
It’s amazing that this flew epidemic has so many different symptoms. This is different from any other flew.
Especially anyone having Past heart problems. But please any of our first responders are having any kind of symptoms, go to your doctor, do not go to work.
I don’t believe her as only 2 out of a 1000 are actually getting a test. It is her job to make DJT look good although his ignorance has killed many senselessly. They must pay for their crimes against our people
Julie. You have TDS in a bad way. There’s only one remedy that I know of. Stop watching CNN.
