Yeah, it is. But that is the entire debate right now. Arguments based on conjecture from inadequate data. And anyone can find an "expert" that fits their conjecture. Just google 'em up, boys!

This expert says we should be doing herd immunity not isolation

Love this guy: “I don’t work for the govt, I can follow the science”

I'm saying find yourself another fake expert. And I'm confident that you will.

Are you even going to argue against his theory of herd immunity or are you just

Honest question

He also said multiple times Americans shouldn’t worry about this

Sure. Seems like there is a lot you don't understand. Let's talk through it.

Game Changer

Is this guy's prediction not closer than the 2 million estimate?

bluelands

He's not interested in answering that question because that means admitting we

Where does he point out his analysis is wrong? He only pointed out

Exactly, your dude was wrong (About the death count)

Does it matter? Fauci et al are constantly updating things as data becomes

Here are some problems with what you are saying.

Jingleheimer

Absolutely. He's refusing to answer why the experts he trusts have predictions

This is a thoughtful response. If I may add a few comments:

Some additonal thoughts on fake experts in academics...

Jingleheimer

4/11/20 6:56am

Great thoughts, again. I agree with most of what you're saying.

Game Changer

4/11/20 11:27am

That's fair. I guess I'd ask you how confident you are that he is wrong?

Jingleheimer

4/11/20 12:50pm

Extremely confident, for a few reasons.

Game Changer

Period...hard stop? Okay. Try this.

Jingleheimer

By your theory there basically are no experts

deliciousmocha

This is a statement with legs.

johnnybyu

I'm saying this particular guy is definitely not an expert. Do you think he is?

Why don't you propose who you think is an expert?

Great question.

My argument has been straightforward. It's pretty easy to understand.

I think "this guy" is smarter than you on this. Big time.

BleedCougarBlue2

4/10/20 9:23am

That’s because there are no experts

buffgato

^^^ Bingo! Now get both sides of this argument to accept that. ^^^^

Sounds like his 6k deaths was closer than the “models” the leaders now abandoned

VballDad

We don’t know what would have happened with his approach.

Misteak

So then he’s way closer than the other experts

Why do you hate Trump?

Yeah...I've basically thought the same thing for the last few weeks.

Video makes some good points, but the flattening ≠ widening.

Zoobieman

TLDR we should stay at home during virus season forever then, not ok

VballDad

4/10/20 8:29am

I'm sorry but that was not the conclusion I wanted anyone to draw.

Zoobieman

4/10/20 1:42pm

Most projections I’ve seen still believe most will get this

BYU '80

4/10/20 9:18am

Yep. Flattening is not necessarily lowering the area under the curve.

Jingleheimer

4/10/20 10:39am

My point was that flattening the curve

There is a major problem with getting to herd immunity right now...

What do you mean by "make sure other diseases won't spread"?
