11. OH MY GOD! It's IHME again! These are the guys who lowballed the numbers at the beginning

of last year so much that they were Donny Bodybags's favorite counter.

They are the ones who insisted for months that the death toll would not go over 60,000. Then when it did, they insisted for months it wouldn't go over 100K. They are the reason Donny Bodybags got away with the "It's no worse than the flu" crap for so long, and the reason why we didn't respond and therefore hundreds of thousands more died than should have.

Now they're saying the deaths are hugely higher than estimated.

IHME is CRAP! They just throw out crap numbers that make no sense! They are always wrong! Any other source, please!
