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

I have argued that this Knut Wittkowski guy is incorrect and not a reliable expert on this pandemic. If you have any information to the contrary, I am willing to listen.

To my knowledge, I have not at any time claimed to have compiled a list of COVID experts that I might supply to CB. If you can address my actual argument, you are certainly welcome to do so.

If your only argument is "Yeah, well what about.... ???" then I have no interest.

This expert says we should be doing herd immunity not isolation

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

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.

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

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

Here are some problems with what you are saying.

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

Jingleheimer

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.

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

Jingleheimer

By your theory there basically are no experts

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?

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

BleedCougarBlue2

That’s because there are no experts

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

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

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

VballDad

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

Zoobieman

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

BYU '80

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

Jingleheimer

My point was that flattening the curve

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