The Delta Variant Will Drive A Steep Rise In U.S. COVID Deaths, A New Model Shows

How One Model Simulated 2.2 Million U.S. Deaths from COVID-19
www.cato.org...
A month later that 2.2 million estimate was still being used (without revealing the source) by President Trump and Doctors Fauci and Birx to imply that up to two million lives had been saved by state lockdowns and business closings and/or by federal travel bans.
The key premise of 81% of the population being infected should have raised more alarms than it did. Even the deadly "Spanish Flu" (H1N1) pandemic of 1918-19 infected no more than 28% of the U.S. population. The next H1N1 "Swine Flu" pandemic in 2009-10, infected 20-24% of Americans.
To push the percentage infected up from 20-28% to an unprecedented 81% for COVID-19 required assuming the number of cases and/or deaths keeps doubling every three or four days for months (deaths were predicted to peak July 20). And that means assuming the estimated reproduction number (R0) of 2.4 remains high, and people keep mingling with different groups, until nearly everyone gets infected. Long before 8 out of 10 people became infected, however, a larger and larger percentage of the population would have recovered from the disease and become immune, so a smaller and smaller share would still remain susceptible
Study estimates nearly 1 in 4 New Yorkers had COVID-19 early in pandemic

But fauci is to me more of a symbol of the failure of government bureaucracy and big government.

Masks that actually seal like a N-95 without an exit valve, yes.
The cheap a$$ cloth masks we were told to double mask. Evidently not, and no.

Masks are used to help prevent someone with COVID passing it on , they are not 100% effective but having some protection is better than none.
