MSM fear mongering a huge second wave for covid, but they are way wrong

This "group of doctors" = emergency physician Simone Gold and family physician David Williams, both giving anecdotal evidence based on their experiences with Covid so far.

Source is Christian Broadcasting Network.

Well depends also on what you think a huge second wave would be. I have no doubt people may die perhaps another 50 to hundred thousand before it is over, but the original lockdown ideas were based on faulty estimates of a roque who violated his own quarantine to adulterize with another women with his badly poorly written computer algorithm projecting millions of deaths in the US. And people listened to the quack.

No, it depends on the quality of the experts being quoted. A family physician and an EMT are not experts in Covid-19. They are not a group of doctors. CBN News is not a medical news source.

This is truly a case where "expert" is defined as anyone with a medical degree who is over 100 miles from home.

NOBODY knows ANYTHING.

Well, we know more now than we did a month ago, and we knew a month ago more than we knew two months ago, but, yeah, we don't know enough.

On the one hand, we have anecdotal evidence and opinion of successes, failures, and problematic approaches; on the other, statistical data that mean almost nothing. Because of all the politicization, the "experts" need to be rigorously fact checked. Without per capita reporting by actual date along with extents, we know almost nothing useful. We do not know where we are in the epidemic, or where we have been, and we will likely never know.

Types of stats needed (within each community): the number of people tested (and why); the number that tested positive (and estimated contraction date); the test date (not when the results came back or when they were posted); degree those tested were affected (asymptomatic, hospitalized, ventilator, died);); the treatments applied, if any the number of people in the population not yet tested (by that test date); the total population. And this probably doesn't cover it all.
