On Mar 3rd, 2020, WHO said the fatality rate is 3.4.
On Mar 4th, 2020, Dr Fauci told congress that his math on fatality rate is 2
On same day Mar 4h, In interview with Hannity, Trump said he thinks the fatality rate it below 1.He said he has a 'Hunch' on WHO's 3.4 number, which draw a firestorm from media and some experts erupted over Trump's remarks.
Since mid-April I have never seen one scientific paper or research or estimate made by individual scientists saying the fatality rate above 1. The biggest number on fatality rate that I saw is 0.77. If you find one please give the link. To be fair, WHO's number is interpreted as upper bound from very beginning within scientific circle. Dr Fauci stated clearly his math is based on China data and we know at that time we only had China's data which is big enough to considered of statistical significance. But, Trump's estimate (below 1) can be deemed as upper bound too and Trump didn't have data other than China's at that time either.
Now this news that 35 percent of coronavirus infections are asymptomatic pretty much guarantee the covid-19 fatality rate will be well below 1.

The fact that he was passing on what his medical advisors told him didn't matter - it was Trump telling them something! RESIST!
Of course, I also remember the same libs laughing at him when he said that he had been spied on by the FBI, as I remember the libs laughing at him when he said that he could rescue the economy, as i remember the libs laugning at him when he said he could win the election...etc., etc..
Basically, Trump has been right on virtually everything he says that the left laughs at and thinks is impossible. It is a character flaw of theirs
The lockdowns are.
