Regarding the numbers given and quoted on the White House public information briefings. If some of you fellows had been listening to Rush last week? He pretty convincingly shredded the so called "modelers". Aside from the obvious, garbage in, garbage out, ie, using things like 'no precautionary measures taken' and stats from third world and socialized med systems...there is the very simple fact that none of these people had been vetted as to their bona fides in the field of contagion. None of them were willing to put their names or reputations on their work product. Say what? Would you drive on a bridge designed on plans that the engineers didn't sign off on?
Good grief flintlocke, don't let logic get in the way of a good panic......
