Just listened on youtube to the briefing from earlier today - and Dr Deborah Birx said the following, when talking about the numbers of projected infected, deaths, etc - said that everybody just needs to calm down, and quit generating fear. She continued -
"All the models were based on a study done at (didn't catch it, some group in the UK) and we're looking at that again because we have enough data now, and the reality is not what the models projected. Taking Italy, for example, the model projected over 400,000 deaths by this point, and they are nowhere near that." (8,215 as of 2 min ago)
At this point, I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
I think I'll laugh.
