"Based upon the models we have now ..."

Of course, he didn't explain the models very well. He was too vague, considering the level of panic that is occurring, but I think he is probably correct.

WATCH: "The best estimates now of the overall mortality rate for COVID-19 is somewhere between 0.1% and 1%," Adm. Brett Giroir, assistant secretary for health at HHS, says. "That's lower than you heard probably in many reports ... it's not likely in the range of 2 to 3%" pic.twitter.com/bAvS7LNWI8
