Does anyone else remember Dec 2019 when it was projected that there would be a 10% Covid-19 mortality rate? Back then I checked and the pop of US was 349 million. That would be 35 million US dead...

I don't believe any of the figures. Dr House said it best..,

Unlike religion and politics, what is touted in the scientific/medical realm can and does change. This is actually part of the self-correcting aspect of applying the scientific method. All conclusions are conditional, and open to change if/when better evidence and/or analysis of the data comes along. Unfortunately, folks who don't understand how science works see it as "lies." It most assuredly is not.
