You get called on that (I guess? Still don’t get your point) and your response is to say “well these predictions are hard.” Yet you act like his subsequent predictions are valid and worthy of our unconditional obedience despite all this. Man you want to be right so bad I really believe you will argue anything at this point, no matter how ridiculous.

You obviously lost the argument because you didn't dare touch my point about how warnings affect outcomes.
Your expectations are so unreasonable that it's clear your objective is to discredit the CDC. Any cautionary announcement is an affront to you. And you'll be ready with the pitchforks if it strays in the slightest.

What was said in February was true at the moment it was said. [/QUOTE]
This thinking guarantees you a future in government or in sales, especially sales in Latin countries. BS artists love that explanation, “I didn’t lie, it was true when I said it, now, not so much.”.

I can see it now.. You're calling your local station on the regular. Full of p*ss and vinegar about your spoiled fishing plans.
Get a grip, Colonel.

These are not complicated concepts to follow. But people are foaming at the the mouth because the predictions don't pan out exactly as they should.
Another thing to consider.. The mitigation after a warning changes the trajectory. And that really sets the knuckledraggers off.

If some of you tried the sh*t you say on APC at a funeral, you'd be thrown out.
"I'm sorry for your loss. But cheer up. 7 billion people survived today."
