[QUOTE="dmac1, post: 4452742, member: 60252"] Too bad some willfully ignorant people don't understand that those estimates were based on taking no action. I can't think of a single thing Trump ordered or proposed that stopped transmission. While some individual governors and mayors were already telling people to stay home, Trump was saying that everyone was recovering nicely and there would soon be no new cases. Well over a million people were infected by a few infected people coming into the country. Now he wants to expose the other 325 million who haven't yet been exposed to thousands of people who are already here and have the virus. If a few people from China and Europe got us to over 30,000 dead, encouraging people to go back to work while tens of thousands here are still contagious should end up killing way more than Trump is claiming- he says less than 100k. He doesn't seem to get the people will still be dying from it after Aug 4, which is where the models quit counting. He is going to face a huge backlash by continuing to claim that death tally will be lower than a model that simply quit counting on a particular date. Most slow clowns don't read into the details, and they believe that deaths will be below that estimate, and praise Trump. I guess, for some, it matters whether 70,000 more people die by August 4th, instead of even more dying over a longer period. Scientists don't even know yet if those who recovered remain immune for very long. A study in S Korea found that 30 people who had recovered out of 100 came down again with the disease.
