From the previous thread:

re: #277 Love-Child of Cassandra and Sisyphus

Those numbers sound like they came from that slide at an AHA briefing a few days ago, that got circulated widely.

It should be noted that those claims are just someone’s slide… not really a study.

That has been a wingnut talking point.

The “someone’s slide” is the University of Nebraska Medical Center, and the presenter a person from UNMC.

University of Nebraska Medical Center is where the National Quarantine Center is located, and also has world-class research facilities into novel diseases (which is why the quarantine center is there).

I doubt the UNMC or the University of Nebraska would allow a person from the university to testify before a hearing in the Unicameral if they didn’t stand behind the information.
