"That is not a planning scenario that is appropriate, I think, for a developed democracy," Redlener said."We need to be able to do better than that."
The coronavirus will not spread evenly across the country. Like all fast-moving infectious diseases, it may rage in some areas while leaving others relatively untouched. Experts said people must not only look at the overall picture of the pandemic's danger, but about the chances for sudden, local surges that overwhelm hospitals.
hospitalization rate than the CDC's current number and predicted that many communities would run out of hospital beds without social distancing., according to the American Hospital Association, though at any given moment, many of them are already used by patients with typical ailments unrelated to COVID-19.
They’ve been wrong about everything so who cares what they are saying now
Oh, so when we hear encouraging news, it’s due to political pressure. But when we here frightening news it’s science. Glad you straightened that out for us.
Absolutely. Utterly untrustworthy anymore.
Bloated CDC!!!!
Ya think?
What about local and state governors issuing severe stay at home orders in order to hold citizens hostage while waiting for federal bail out $$?
Look CDC, your funding was cut. But don’t CUT your professional integrity. You guys are in charge of that! Don’t let those shameful politicians bully you guys! You are people of SCIENCE, speak the truth and stand by it!
Or maybe this is actually true. Evan Fauci was denouncing the models early on. Not everything is political, there CAN BE GOOD NEWS
Pworts This could possibly be the worst most confusing article, I have ever read. I cannot figure out what the article is saying/predicting?
Ya think!!!
Or the earlier models were overly pessimistic - and played into fears that the agency could have responded to political pressure?
400,000 more deaths? Is that good news?
We’ll just see how it plays out. Don’t forget to track pneumonia cases...
I bet Trump threatened a few jobs for sure...lower numbers or heads will roll
You guys must really work hard looking for this negative stuff...Never Positive Radio.
Unfortunately going forward, the only information that will have any value whatsoever is the number of hospitalizations. Every other number or agency has been politicized and can’t be trusted.
Provisional Death Counts for Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) On May 19th Dr John Ioannidis of Stanford U published their review of global cases, which found lethality ranging between 0.02% and 0.4%.
In bowing to political pressure from Trump, they’re setting themselves up to be thrown under the bus by him when numbers exceed estimates.
Isn't it weird the numbers of dead have stalled? It's almost like the government doesn't want the truth reported.
It’s hard to imagine that with the number of cases still holding steady is many areas, still rising in some (and yes some going down) that more large congregations of people at beaches churches etc won’t result in a spike in about three weeks.
Yeah that’s a Suprise that they might be being held politically (read financial cut backs and firings) hostage by the current administration
Its because China sent it here in NOV. 2019 and it circulated in US for possibly 8 wks, prior to any viral radar. Let us watch, truth always comes out.
Trump gagged the CDC early on & continues to ensure the numbers are aligning to support his reelection. A shameful presidency. We can fix this. DumpTrump2020
More than likely it was pressure, after seeing all the future dead Ppl on the beach the last few days! All I can say is
Fauci and Birx have better speak up less in public. They are targeted by both left and right now. Death number 60000 becomes one piece of the evidence. Now both left and right do not believe scientists.
You think?!
Just following orders.....remember that phrase in next few years
If this is true, then it’s as unethical and deplorable as it is unfortunate.
They have done too many things wrong to feel confident they haven’t be politicized.
Some say it right on mark too. Put that in headlines. Fake news.
PaulSorrentino3 Fixed it: 'Scientists say the new model is fraudulent - and confirms the entire government is being control by Capitalists to force Americans back to work in the Capitalists warehouses, factories and retail stores to make wealth for them during a sustained global pandemic.'
Fake news NPR again. Never telling us what experts. Someone in their basement said this could get worse. Nice NPR. Tell us who said it
Disappointingly, it's political pressure. Lower estimates is being pushed because realdonaldtrump is selling the USA's Ventilators leaving US under resourced. The CDCgov knows a 2nd wave of Coronavirus is a given, now they'll have the excuse 'we didn't know!' VoteBlue2020
Naw... no political pressure from this administration, you think?
When was the CDC correct?
CDC is clearly compromised by Trump pressure. American's are at sea in this Pandemic, trying to find a path.
This administration? Politicize a public health agency? No....
Now where would we get the idea that the CDC (and other agencies designed to protect us and keep our government honest) would be under pressure not to fulfill their mission?.... oh, wait.
Nah, don't believe it. CDC has many professionals that know what they are doing and wouldn't play into the whole...you never know... smoke and mirrors games. Not with the CDC now WHO... they would.
So, in other words, the “expert’s” projections are now the same, lowered projections that everyone got ridiculed and shouted down for asserting three months ago. Also, the government “experts” put 35 million people out of work for no reason. 👍👍👍
Democrats are literally disappointed this hasnt been anywhere near as bad as it could have been
What do you want, an economic disaster? There is already been more suicides or attempts in northern California then what happened in a year's time, more than Covid deaths. Typical MSM. You're not reporting the entire story.
Two months ago the CDC don't wear masks. Gov. Cuomo says the CDC told him to put COVID patients into nursing homes. Explain to me why we are listening to them?
People are going to die or not die regardless of political pressure; ergo, this is irrelevant
Numbers are great in Europe maybe they adjusted to that. UK can’t even test a vaccine as they have so little cases anymore...
So wrong! We the people need reliable info and we can believe , NOTHING this administration says. Deplorable ineptitude.
I was told we’d be at a million by now by the nazi Fauci.
FuckfaceVonClownstick knows real well about eliciting low-ball bids
WHERE WAS CDC DHS FBI ETC. WHEN 100,000 AMERICANS DIE TIME FOR A REFUND FROM THESE AGENCIES!!!
Isn’t the left trying to push political pressure here? Lockdown until the election. Try and hide the ball better next time.
Of course they are
YA THINK?
Typical of this current administration. Smokes stays in our eyes.
Of course, or maybe they are following science ...because now we know they were waaay off!
CDC has been politicized and that means compromised.
“60,000” death projection was just a month ago 🤷🏻♂️
