Ya think?
This guy sure changed his mind from 2 days ago when a lot of people (myself included) were calling for his resignation. We all knew this was blown out of proportion for one reason, and one reason only. Trump
The rest of us are collateral damage.

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:

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.

We're most likely causing our own "second wave". The people that could gain immunity aren't getting it but most likely, slowly losing the ability sitting around. They could have just let the more vulnerable people isolate and the rest carry on. 80% is pretty large number.

We don't have a cure for a single virus to date. The percentages of the known pathogens are up and down from year to year. Sometimes upwards towards that 10% mark. Maybe more.

Did that CDC representative go into how they liberally changed the potential cause of death on the certificates that could, and most likely will, inflate the numbers as sars-cov-2?
