White House coronavirus response coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx predicts 100,000-200,000 American deaths if US acts 'almost perfectly.'

The White House coronavirus response coordinator said Monday that she is"very worried about every city in the United States" and projects 100,000 to 200,000 American deaths as a best case scenario.

In an interview on"TODAY," Dr. Deborah Birx painted a grim message about the expected fatalities, echoing that they could hit more than 2 million without any measures, as"I think everyone understands now that you can go from five to 50 to 500 to 5,000 cases very quickly," Birx said. "I think in some of the metro areas we were late in getting people to follow the 15-day guidelines," she added.Sign Up

Dr.Birx...sorry when you stand next to a fool it’s hard to take you serious..

Couldn't have this been avoided by reading what's going on in the world?

Well, it is obviously clear that our national response to the COVID-19 pandemic has been way less than perfect so I guess, based on Dr. Birx predictions, our death toll is going to be somewhere well North of 200,000.

Dr. Death.

We know the chick in terrorists MOFIAS is behind somenof it that means onen speaking there fooling citizens and veto them out also .WELCOME 2 USA HUNGER GAMES BOYS AND GIRLS WE WILL WIN TERRISTS U WILL FALL POTUS

Who is that woman a doctor? She looks scary and unhealthy.

But as of now we are in 2000 range. 98K more? Not claiming that as truth. There has to be more facts fueling 98k ppl dying

Well I guess were screwed with 'Mr. Perfect' at the helm.

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Not a number I want to see

In other words, twice that

Yes, that’s the range I calculated, as well. 325M people, 4% infection rate (depends on strict adherence to SD guidelines), 1.6% death rate = 195k deaths. We need a significant force to change that progression, honestly.

Great news. TrumpGenocide

It's a zero sum game. The deaths will merely be offsets from cancer, heart disease, strokes, and other prevalent diseases. If 200k die from COVID-19 then 200k less will die from other reasons.

So the opposite of how they have been acting?

Get ready for plenty of this shit from realDonaldTrump & his band of jag offs every day. This way when the final totals are way less, they can try to make a pathetic victory lap for coming in under their own pulled out of a hat numbers

Get ready for a million then.

This after all the none sense she has spewed before. Low risk, middle rusk let’s get people back out etc. Time they start telling things as they are so people can react. Difficult times ahead as they dismissed it and minimized the issue at the beginning. Responsibility

No Dr. Fauci did. Stop giving False credit.

Yep and the early models said 2.2 million. If you want to see it for yourself, watch this since the MSM refuse to show it!

We’re f’d.

Oh mercy!

And trump only wants praise. He’s sick in the head

God's decision not theirs

They haven't done anything Near perfectly!!

Thank to Donnie !!!

I have problems trusting this woman.

Its a hoax if only 100,000 - 200,000 die. Who knew🤔 MAGAFail

choptopmoseley She's almost as bad as Trump!! They should just leave all the news conferences up to Dr. Fauci!!

How is the counting and reporting done? Are people that commit suicide and then tested positive for covid19 counted as a Covid19 victim or listed as a suicide? The world wants to know what the media feeds the people! Coronavirustruth

Vs 3 million unemployed and counting...

I am glad science is taking over ..... this can let people face reality and maybe it can save lives which could have been lost in debate

I plead the blood of Jesus over our Nation and nation around the world.

And that makes you wonder why trump NEVER SHUT DOWN THE NATION..AND WHY SHE DID NOT ADVISE IT... THIS patchwork of here and there patches because the 'richest' country in the world is DEPENDENT UPON OUTSOURCED GOODS PARTS PIECES AND SUPPLIES AND PRODUCE NOTHING thanks GOP

Why don't I trust her

NOW?

1 mil+

They leave marketing strategy. They have 15 days to open by Easter. Now the spin is 15 days for State and City to follow but they didn't not. Sad for American with this type of irresponsible leadership.

that’s like 100 9/11s

In other words, until dimwit governors like Mississippi and Tennessee have don’t shut down, the numbers will be exponentially higher.

She really didn’t predict it first!

Which we aren’t soooo

If America HAD acted perfectly there would he far fewer

If the U.S. acts 'almost perfectly FROM NOW ON.' Fixed it for her.

She is laying expectations. It'll come in WAY lower. And her boy will be a hero. Even though he ignored it for a month.

Wow

Thanks for all your doing!

perfect?

Some of this is on her as she bobble headed for Trump when he was spreading his dis-information. Her credibility is shot and no amount of trying to rehab her will work when most healthcare professionals knew she lied a few times to cover for Trump.

Live statement from brix:

Well then , we are screwed

But we aren’t acting almost perfectly. Some of us are but others, not so much.

They are all conditioning us to accept 100-200k deaths! realDonaldTrump VoteBlueToSaveAmerica TrumpVirusCoverup MAGAVirus

Personally I think it would be that high if we HADN'T taken precausions!

I am working on doing it perfectly. Like my phone calls.

We’re fucked. We’re not doing things anywhere near perfect. Remember that huge inauguration crowd you bragged about? They’re real, all right. We couldn’t see them because they’re a large crowd of the dead.

Almost perfectly? This administration is a disaster.

Idiotic Data in no way supports this

NBCLA at the current 1.7% death rate 6 MILLION will die. Did I mis hear when the experts said this is a NEW Virus and that EVERYONE will get it eventually

Remember 12,000+ died in America with H1N1 under Obama's watch Coronavirus 6,303 have recovered 2,278 have passed Something bad has to happen to get to 200,000

That's such crap we are no where near that rate

Pray and trust not coronavirus

This is an absolute misstatement. She was quite clear & fake news is paraphrasing.

NBCLA Can we get some alignment here? Fauci says 80k she says 200k, WHICH IS IT?

Wow

DanGriffinWLWT Perfectly means we drag this out w/a patchwork of lockdowns until Autumn. So we close the country & still 200k die. Opening the country back up by July 4th & letting chips fall where they may is a gamble worth trying. We can't go on like this for 6 months. We just can't.

But what does bdomenech say? AllPraiseTheMARKET

She’s repeating what Dr. Fauci already said

choptopmoseley How is it that we are not hauling Trump away and locking him up for all of these deaths? He committed treason against the citizens of his country, the people he swore to protect. We aren't even more important than his own ego. TrumpISAccountable

Trump: WINNING! People with functioning brains: 😒

Perfectly means lockdown which Trump disagreed.

curefinder So that's clearly not going to happen with Trump at the helm TrumpIsAnIdiot

acts perfectly from when it was first known about in early January 2020, if President realDonaldTrump had not called it a hoax for 7 weeks, if Trump had accepted the testing kits from the WHO or do the right thing now & WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE NOW, B SPECIFIC!!

Now the doctor is an statistician? Such talent, not.

curefinder Nobody wants to hear from Dr. Psycho Brix.

Why is everyone now taking credit for something Dr. Fauci announced days before? She didn’t predict anything nor did her boss. Fauci did!

tuser5555 With this dangerous President at the helm we should all stop drop and roll. 🔥🔥🔥

There’s NO such thing as doing “..,things almost perfectly...” if realDonaldTrump is in charge. Get rid of him! He wants governors to kiss his humongous ass before he allows medical supplies to be shipped to states. He’s mentally declining and must step back now!😡👎

NBCLA MartialLawNow

So...how many if we keep acting like Americans, then?

It's serious.
