“The early predictions of the COVID-19's expected death toll in the U.S. assumed about half of Americans "would pay attention to the recommendations," CDC Director Robert Redfield said Monday in an interview with AM 1030 KVOI Radio in Tucson, Ariz.”

"What we're seeing is a large majority of the American public are taking the social distancing recommendations to heart," he said. "And I think that's the direct consequence of why you're seeing the numbers are going to be much, much, much, much lower than would have been predicted by the models."

The model the White House trotted out last week assumed "full social distancing" from the beginning--lockdowns, school/business closures, travel restrictions, etc. This whole "the models weren't wrong" dog ain't gonna hunt.

Director of the Centers for Disease Control Robert Redfield suggests that because Americans are taking social distancing recommendations “to heart,” the death toll from the novel coronavirus will be “much, much, much lower” than models have projected. https://abcn.ws/3dW7UWi
