Big: CDC and White House Mull a Joint Declaration That People Can Start Going Back to Work, Provided They Take Their Own Temperature Twice Per Day and Wear a Facial Mask

Seems like we've tamed this beast.

The plan would focus on only some workers returning to work, those workers deemed the most vital.

But this seems like an opening bid in reopening the country fully.

It also seems like this beast was not nearly as contagious as "The Experts," as well as the liberal "science-lovers" Experts On Twitter as well as Hot Air's Resident Expert on All Matters Which Could Negatively Affect Trump's Reelection Chances, have been screaming.

Last night Tucker Carlson said that the vaunted "models" have been consistently wrong and have consistently predicted hospitalization and death rates four or more times the actual observed rates.

And yet the experts still cite "the models" as proof (as they also cite their own constructed models as proof of global warming).

When called on this, "The Experts" dissemble and claim that the models are showing higher rates of hospitalization and death than observed because we took their advice and shut the country down.

This is a fucking lie. The models already assumed maximum social distancing for their lowest estimates, but the reality is that the hospitalization/death rates are much lower than what they claimed would happen even if we had the absolute maximum amount of social distancing.

Are we just so good at social distancing that we've shredded what is physically possible in a maximum?

Or could it be that the models are just wrong?

Are we ever allowed to suggest that?

No no no -- we can never suggest that. Only people who hate Science would ever seek to critique, correct, and refine a model according to the actual observed empirical data.

All Science-Loving people know that reality must be adapted to fit the model. The model is holy and perfect, and cannot be made to bend to agree with ugly, sinful reality.

You need to understand, Science is now Sciencism, a dogmatic, Neopuritan religion with pseudoscientific trappings.

Tucker Carlson had a righteous rant against the the High Priests of Sciencism (who have made Twitter their diocese) last night:

The "models" keep being adjusted downwards to catch up with reality -- but never quite get there.

And meanwhile, people keep telling us the models are completely accurate and that to question them is to "have blood on your hands."

Those trying to keep the numbers as high as possible are now claiming that pretty much anyone who dies in this quarter dies due to COVID:

And, as if an answer to a leftwinger's prayer to the Gods of Sciencism, here comes Fake Tapper:

I think we need an African Funeral Dance meme for "the models."
