But if his contention is that even with all the social distancing and what not that you still have a better than 50% chance of getting it then something doesn't smell right.

That was my point. He threw out this crazy number while asking for money. Politician gotta politician. But some here think you're being crazy for asking for any bit of evidence to support that giant number that nobody else is throwing out there. He's saying California alone is going to have more cases of Covid in 8 weeks then the rest of the whole entire country will have of the regular flu for the entire year.
Extrapolating that, it would mean we would have 150 million cases of Covid in the U.S. in 8 weeks. It's bullshit to throw that number out there. It will only serve to feed into the fear and panic.
