Concern trolls and agitators are trying to spread the idea that Fauci and Brix are somehow frauds with their mortality predictions. A prime example is u/RlzJohnnyM with his recent post:

https://thedonald.win/p/FMOC1SP2/eli5-if-the-apex-is-in-2-weeks-h/c/

What they aren't telling you is that a flattened curve does not recede or reach maximum casualties in two more weeks. Instead, it continues on for months at the newly flattened but lower and more manageable mortality rate. This elongated but flattened curve could then sums the total deaths to up to 200,000.

The contrast would be a massive, spiking apex curve with enormous casualties in a short time period, overwhelming the system and causing a greater loss of life. This is obviously less preferable than a flattened and more controlled crisis.

TLDR: Deport the idiot concern trolls.

True reality. There's plenty of monsters out there ready to eat us. I remember watching a story about some young woman swimming in a popular cove of some lake with maybe 100 other people. She was the only one to catch some crazy brain amoeba that killed her.

This isn't her story, but it's the same amoeba:
