10k is an approximate number that he claims would have been without the social distancing. If you take anyones claims point by point you'll find inconsistencies but taken as an overall POV, herd immunization vs isolation then there's merit in what he says. Either way there still isn't enough data to come to any final conclusion but historically this things have come and gone (not disappeared). This is how I feel and probably am as wrong or right as anyone else at this point.No it doesn't. Speaking between 6 and 7 minutes he concludes that 10,000 people would die (it seems he means even without social distancing, but this is not quite clear to me). Yet this is nonsense. We are already above 10,000 deaths (with the number probably being underreported), and this will increase several fold in the next few weeks.
He says he is not being paid by the government and thus can do actual science. This is quite an arrogant thing to say, shockingly so for a scientist. Are all the other scientists shills for the government? That sounds like a conspiracy theory to me.
