She didn't push back on the models. She said they used basically the same models, and said now we have real data that can be used to adjust the projections. And that nowhere did we see anymore than 1 out of 1000 confirmed cases.
She explained that the models worst case scenarios were for total infected 18 months out if nothing was done to slow the spread. Then explained how Trump's 15 Days to Slow the Spread was created exactly to buy time. That's why it's called SLOW the spread.
She BTFO the Dem/MSM narrative that 60% would be infected this month - which is where Cuomo is getting his 140,000 hospital bed figure from.
Birx was clearly upset by the fear mongering media, which started running stories on care rationing and DNRs. She suggested it was irresponsible because we are nowhere near the situation we see in northern Italy.

But if we don't compare to Northern Italy how can we possibly scare the absolute shit out of everyone???!!
Great breakdown. Commenting to save this for later use. If you have any sources handy that would be amazing.
