"You know, a source told me last night that there have been so many people who have known the right thing to do, have sounded the alarm on this, and going back to the middle of February, talking about the fact that this virus could be spread asymptomatically and that everything needed to change as a result," Gupta told the CNN anchors. "And this is what my source said, 'Every step along the way, this guidance that could have saved, you know, 80 to 90 percent of the people who have died could have been saved if this guidance had been abided by. Every step of the way, that guidance has been buried and then minimized and then ignored and now ridiculed. That's what's happening."

Some of the states made horrific mistakes (looking at you, Cuomo) early on. I have no doubt Trump could've saved lives by not downplaying it, but not by 80%-90%."
"Aside for being a preposterous number considering how every country dealt with it, there is quite literally no reasonable way to calculate this without making a ton of very speculative hindsight assumptions," Tablet Magazine associate editor Noam Blum tweeted.
