They came out immediately and said “millions are gonna die”. To date it hasn’t come close to what they predicted.
Why would we trust them at all when they’ve been downright wrong the whole time?

Masks: Do you have some expectation that new learnings wouldn't lead to new recommendations? Should we just go off of gut feel in the beginning and then never change because **** it?
Predictions: You're taking a headline and acting like it was an expert opinion. If someone was saying "millions" it was under the scenario where we did nothing to try and mitigate the damage. The most prominent models in March and early April were showing between 100k-200k deaths , and that's been accurate.
