Comparing it to the flu was never logical

When yearly flu deaths are between 20,000 and 50,000 it actually was logical when he said this.

We'll see where it plays out.

When all the experts were saying it is not like the flu, it is absolutely not logical to say this. Saying "I don't know" is less harmful than saying something that was even false when he said it.

As someone who plays a doctor on TV, he should have repeated what more qualified people said, directed people to the experts or not said anything.

"No one knew it could be this bad" is 100% false. He should have known better.

How ?

---

How could he have known better? By staying in his lane (he's an addition counselor with an MD). It's not as if he made a few off handed remarks about it that were slightly off base. Up until the end of March he only slightly backtracking.

How could he have known better? He could have listened to the experts.

LMAO this is almost exactly what I posted on my facebook. I said back when he was spouting this nonsense that he is a quack and needs to shut up about a topic he clearly knows little to nothing about. I do not treat substance abuse patients (his board cert) he should not be telling millions(?) of people to not worry about a new infectious disease.

I think your numbers make reasonable sense.
