Trump needs to take charge and do so now.
These doctors need to stay in their lane. All this mathematical modeling shit is out of their area of expertise.
The bureaucrats have no idea what they're doing and are highly incompetent at everything.
Fucking ridiculous to destroy a multi-trillion dollar economy because 54,000 people died.
What is the plan here? Just let the economy die because some doctor doesn't know how to analyze statistical models properly?
Or some statistics expert decided that well actually if you change that variable by a few factors and alter this other coefficient right here... then that means....
And these are the people who have the keys to the American economy??
he's boxed in. The media overhyped this virus, just like they have for the collusion, impeachment, etc, but this time it actually caught on and caused reaction at the local level.
Cities and states were taking action in accordance with the deep state propaganda about infection etc.
When Trump banned travel from Europe I think that was his attempt to take decisive action to quell the hysteria, but instead it validated the hysteria in the minds of the gullible and set off a chain reaction of another layer of shutdowns and the state and local level.
We're in a negative feedback loop of hysteria between state and local nit wits, mass media, gullible normies, etc.
The fever will only break when these forecasts, link enclosed, are proven undeniably wrong. Next week there are supposed to be 20,000 deaths by April 10th, following week 38,000 deaths. Two weeks of misses to the downside, as well as misses on bed utilization will punch a giant hole in the credibility of Covid mania.

And at the end, China will be out of our critical supply chain. Open borders will be dead. Nobody will give a fat shit about transgender rights or any of the other ridiculous bullshit. Everyone will have seen how badly the press and the Democrats are in the pocket of the globalists and China, everyone will see who sold their soul to China for money. The EU will be finished. Everyone will police their borders. Iran will be on it's knees. The U.S. military will be manning the U.S. border instead of every border in the Middle East. The Democrat Party will be a laughing stock, and the people who put us in this position will be held to account.
This is what gives me hope

He needs to unbox. Now.
There isn't time right now for waiting around.
He can't unbox, the covid forecasts have to be proven wrong first.
He would have nobody on his side until then. None of the state or local officials would listen to him.
They've already been proven wrong.
How much more wrong do they have to be proven at this point? Even the MSM is starting to backpedal with the rest of the model creators.
Their sales pitch is composed of 1) "Muh Exponential GRowth rate!!" and 2) "Not enough testing so we don't really know"
I know this because I have this argument daily with my dad, who is an engineer, and my neighbors who are oil and gas execs. Definitely not stupid people but will buy the narrative that comes from institutional authority figures so long as there is data to somewhat justify the claim.
If you compare the death forecasts to the reported deaths, that number is still tracking budget to actual. But damn near half the deaths are NY/NJ so it's going to most likely hit a wall soon. Next Friday the figure is supposed to be 20,000 deaths, then the following Friday it's supposed to be 38,000 deaths. (Total) I think that is where the forecasts really start to veer off course from reality.

Remember when everyone gave blood after 9/11 and 99% of it ended up being put in a landfill?
