Do you believe we're coming out of the epidemic or is the worst yet to come?

Today Mike Pence said: “I truly do believe that if we all continue to do that kind of social distancing and other guidance broadly from federal and state officials, that we’re going to put this coronavirus in the past. I believe by early June we’re going to see our nation largely past this epidemic."

But leading infectious disease expert Michael Osterholm said two days ago we're only in the second inning of a nine-inning contest, with the possibility of as many as 800,000 deaths or more in the US over the next 18 months.

Who do you believe? Who can you believe?

In matters of diseases and medical concerns I’d go with the assessment of the expert rather than a politician who is probably more concerned about getting re-elected and telling voters what he thinks they want to hear. 🙁

@flipper1966 I’m almost less surprised by him saying it than by the fact that [b]anyone[/b] would take him seriously enough to actually [i][b]do[/b][/i] it. 😳
