You don't understand; it's not that his predictions are wrong (while that can be an issue too), but also that his recommendations tend to be inconsistent. It seems that, not just him but the team at large tends to change their recommendations over and over again. Thankfully this doesn't seem to have been a problem fairly recently, he seems to remain consistent in that we need to reopen things soon.

But another issue is his chronic pessimism that he uses to sell fear to the people. The virus would have to mutate into a far more powerful and lethal version in order to even come close to the 675k death toll of the Spanish Flu pandemic. 675 million people would need to be infected. And earlier on he said we should not take comfort in lower death rates in the face of rising infection counts. Why not? Common sense tells us that he is being at least a tad manipulative/misleading in that regard.

@tuxcrafting @realcaseyrollins I don't know if it's a real pattern, but when I was in school, it seemed like everyone had July and August birthdays.

Constantly changing his mind about shutting things down, predicting things would be far worse than they ended up being, etc.

He's probably a good guy and likely means well, but his advice has just been lousy, ever-changing, and hard to follow. You can't ask people to trust someone who can't be consistent.

I'm doing great just lonely in my room with the computer

@mewmew @FOX10Phoenix He's been very unreliable and wrong a lot of the time, more recently leading Americans astray with alarmism and bad recommendations.

@mewmew @FOX10Phoenix Well is a dummy when it comes to this stuff but he needs someone better and more reliable than

@realcaseyrollins struggling with mental health seems to one of the few unifying topics these days
@realcaseyrollins @tuxcrafting @11112011 lol like they expect wealthy people to volunteer for an experimental vaccine. Poor people the world over are always the guinea pigs.

They're definitely the last in line for any effective treatment as well. Interesting article, thanks.

Talking about is the easiest thing you can do for clout cuz you can spout pure nonsense and people will still drool over it
