Many smart people were wrong about gravity though before we knew what it was. Many people thought the world was flat. Smart people said glaciers would overrun the planet in the 1800's(and 5 or 6 times in the 1900's).

To just accept these peoples words without challenging them just doesn't fly with me. Now I've looked for the numbers to back up said claims and can't find anything on how they got their doomsday numbers. If any of you has any such info, I'd appreciate it. Again these numbers they(some experts agree with me) are insanely astronomical. You can even look at Thrillers graph that conveniently leaves out America has in most cases 250,000,000 more people and we're only in the 50,000 ill range after 2 weeks. We're pretty damn consistent with the rest of the world.
If I'm wrong, I'll own it even though it does seem people here want me to be wrong for obvious political reasons. But there is not one statistic out there that suggest hundreds of thousands will get sick each and every day. Theres not even that many current cases between 195 countries COMBINED, but we'll have that daily. Again 200,000 plus a day need to get sick for the next year to hit these numbers.
