CDC Director: Coronavirus Death Toll Will Be ‘Much, Much, Much Lower’ than Projected

Appearing Monday on AM 1030 KVOI Radio, Dr. Robert Redfield, the Director of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), predicted that the death toll from the Chinese coronavirus will be “much, much, much lower” than the models have projected due to Americans following social distancing recommendations.

By: Breitbart News, April 7, 020:

A transcript is as follows: 

HOST: We were talking about some of the models, whether it’s from the imperial college guy in England or the University of Washington. Thank god some of these numbers are falling short of some of these catastrophic numbers. Tell me about the dynamic of the modeling and how it helps and influences decision making and then, when the reality comes in, how does the decision making transform?

DR. ROBERT REDFIELD: I think it’s really important. First, models are only as good as their assumptions. Obviously, there was a lot unknown about this virus. The ability to actively make a lot of assumptions was much wider than if this was an Influenza B outbreak. Second thing, I will say from a public health perspective, to me, the real value of models is to have a model and then try to understand — if I invest resources here, what does that do to the model? If I invest in intervention strategies here, what does that do to the model? It’s a way of beta testing how you’re going to respond and what it does to the different models. And models should never be used to assume that we have a number. You saw those numbers are quite staggering. You’ve got 200,000 to 2 million Americans are losing their lives before the fall. That’s a pretty staggering number.

HOST: Are throwing those kind of numbers out actually helpful because what they do is scare the hell out of everyone to social distance? Is that the purpose?

DR. REDFIELD: I think different people may look at it in different ways in terms of transparency. CDC had models early on. We didn’t really publicize the models. We used them internally to understand deviation strategies. I think part of the importance of getting the American public’s attention that these models did, we really need the American public to be fully engaged now with great rigor and vigilance on the social distancing. As you pointed out, those models that were done, they assume only about 50 percent of the American public would pay attention to the recommendations. In fact, what we’re seeing is a large majority of the American public are taking the social distancing recommendations to heart. And I think that’s the direct consequence of why you’re seeing the numbers are going to be much, much, much lower than would have been predicted by the models.

right on queue, just i predicted yesterday. last week, the 2 “doctors” on multiple occasions guaranteed a minimum of 200,000 dead americans in april regardless of what preventive measures were taken. That’s 7,000 corpses per day, and as of April 7 today, that would 49,000 stiff bodies piled up in america. what utter bullshiite. so today, they are now patting themselves on the back for preventing this carnage by all there hoax, while destroying our constitution and our economy. the red chinese army in DC would have done less harm to america than these deep state witch “doctors” whose sole motivation in this entire hoax has been to destroy trump’s economy

The Bill Gates out of control exaggerated modeling and projections to shut our country DOWN and rearrange our lives didn’t accomplish its goal. This still didn’t bring Trump DOWN. Instead Trumps numbers went UP.

Trump is right our economy WILL come roaring back. Just watch. The vile liberals screwed up, AGAIN and it didn’t bring Trump down. We will recover.

David Hume proved in his brilliant logical proof of inductive reasoning that it is impossible to know with certainty that the sun will rise tomorrow. You cannot logically prove it.

Furthermore, he argued that people who make projections into the future are only exercising their imagination. Conclude what you will from these massively wrong projections. They are the work of malicious, insane minds. Their conjectures are based on NOTHING.

For a Leftist, facts don’t matter, only their fevered imaginations.

I won’t fall for the “social distancing” being a cause. In the Republic of Korea, other than closing public schools, NO government mandated business closures were enacted. They seemed to get it under control quite rapidly without the government mandating the loss of people’s livelihood. The big news buzz about new reoccurrences was due to people returning to Korea. The government actually sent out charter planes to pick up citizens and bring them home, mainly college students studying in the U.S.
Yes, on new arrivals, the government did mandate that they were to go home and stay home, for fourteen days, and quite few didn’t. But, that’s a far sight from closing business, synagogues, churches, and clubs … ordered by fascist governors.
Aside from new arrivals, anyone can go anywhere. How come our fascist government ordering “social distancing” and the forced closure of business isn’t bringing about the same, or better, results than the ROK?
My long time friend, Dr. Kim, Min Soo started prescribing anti-malaria drugs, combined with antibiotics as early as February. And, no government official declared that to be illegal, as they have in the fascist U.S.A.

This was Russia hoax 4.0. This is a manufactured crisis! Where are the millions of dead? Where are all the body bags? This is a Leftist conspiracy to destroy our economy.

The communist Fauci should be fired and shamed. His projections are the conjuring of an insane mind. What is it based on? Even China never got anywhere near a million dead! Nowhere near that number and it’s the epicenter.

This is a fraud perpetrated on all of us and President Trump walked right into their devious tiger trap. They used it to bankrupt our Nation and foment a communist revolution.

4 trillion dollars passed! Who pays for that? WE THE SHEEPLE!

One of the most meaningless statistics to emerge in the COVID-19 coverage is that NYC has eclipsed the number of people killed on 9/11. So f*cking what?

It is as meaningless as time of possession in a football game. Someone like Alabama can beat someone 52-0 in a game and still have less time of possession because they score so quickly every time they touch the ball.

Remember – the primary purpose of the CDC (a private corp, NOT a government agency) is to sell vaccines, like the yearly flu and brain destroying newborn vacs. When this is considered, what they are doing is expected, such as poo-pooing the almost 100% effective hydroxychloroquine cures and prophylactics like Vitamin C, D and Zinc combo because they do not sell vaccines!
So they lie about the numbers dead (most are from other reasons, like heart, diabetes, pneumonia, etc) but count them anyway to inflate their importance, and keep saying ‘wait for the vaccine’. Add the number of deaths from some other causes and subtract that number from the claimed and you will have a more accurate actual SARS cov-2 (covid 19) death rate. In actual numbers, this is only a mid level flu at worst,a mild cold for so many others.
