I believe Redfield said the death toll could be 200k in the months of December through the end of February, not just December.
Based on your report that the US has suffered 36k deaths through just the first half of December so far .. do you still think they were predicting a bigger surge? It seems as though we are sadly on track to meet Redfield's prediction unless we continue to introduce mitigation measures (e.g., vaccinations, mask mandates, restricted indoor activities, etc.).
It doesn't have to be this way, warns Dr. Robert Redfield.
