Dear God what a stupid argument. I also watched the segment. Some media is clearly framing headlines and asking questions in a way to do as much damage to Trump as possible. It is what it is...been doing it for the past 3 years. And the moron tends to give them what they want more often than not.
But as far as the numbers go, the CURRENT model, with the CURRENT data available to them gives them the range of 100k-200k deaths. Both Birx and Fauci explained repeatedly in a way that a 4th grader should be able to understand that it could be worse but could also be much better. You likely won't see the rosy side of that explanation in many stories because unfortunately to media, clicks matter.
But for those that didn't watch, it's 100% within the realm of possibility that we only see a fraction of that projection, as the only data in the model is whats happened so far, and so far we have a few major epicenters with heavy spread and deaths. There was plenty of encouraging data on those charts as well, including evidence that other major cities mitigation efforts MAY be paying off and changing the trajectory of the current death projections.
TLDR; keep being careful, don't freak out over headlines, wash your hands, social distance and pray we continue to see good results from said efforts
