Pandemic expert Dr. Deborah Birx says U.S. officials initially responded to the coronavirus outbreak the way that they did because they thought it was going to be "more like SARS" and not a "global pandemic" *BECAUSE* "we were missing a significant amount of the data" from China
“The medical community interpreted the Chinese data as, this was serious, but smaller,†she said. “Because, I think, probably we were missing a significant amount of the data.â€
Birx and fellow task force member Dr. Anthony Fauci also announced the U.S. is anticipating between 100,000 and 240,000 deaths before the pandemic ends.
