The answer, I won’t make you guess, is that the doom and gloom in both cases is not based on science but on computer models. Contrary to what the left would have you believe, computer models are not hard science. They are someone’s attempt to model reality. Remember as I told you in the past, he who makes the model determines the outcome. In neither case is there an E=mc2 or an F=ma.

Remember that not a single leftist computer model has been right about global warming. Every prediction has been grossly wrong. And as I have pointed out before, the global warming crowd is not concerned about the environment but about bringing about a worldwide socialist government. And of equal importance, they are funded by the government, which during the Obama years, would not support any “research “ that didn’t conform to their desired results.

Now you ask, how does this relate to the Wuhan flu? Well let me tell you. Once again there is no hard science. Models about spreading and mortality are just guesses and the more outrageous your model is the more coverage you get from the MSM. Don’t believe me? Let’s look as Neil Ferguson, a supposedly expert in epidemiology. He’s the idiot from the Imperial something or other in London whose computer model predicted that 500,000 people in the UK and 2.2 million in the US would die from this virus. But that model was based on the assumption that we would all just kiss everyone we met and cough and sneeze on everyone we could. When he adjusted his model to reflect social distancing, the number in the UK went from 500,000 to 20,000. I’m not sure what the reduction in the US would be but if the ratio held the number would be 88,000. That would be at the high end of a normal flu season.

Now the MSM has hyped the first numbers, but they have not reported the correction. And let’s not forget we have done way more than social distancing. Most decisions by the federal, state and local governments have been made based on Ferguson’s incompetent first model.

More importantly, if you can make a simple change to your model and change it by a factor of 25, then your model is bullshit.

Lastly, to bring this home, all the doomsayers including Fauci, are getting lauded for championing worst case scenarios. The MSM loves anyone who predicts Armageddon. Just like with the bogus global warming nonsense, if you want to be a darling of the left, you have to say something that can hurt Trump and scare people.

One more thing, they have absolutely no idea of just how infectious or deadly this virus is. They are just guessing and destroying our economy in the process. We won’t know until after this passes on like the swine flu just what the real numbers were, and even then we won’t know because a majority of the people who get the virus will never know it and won’t be tested so we will never know how infectious or deadly this virus is.
