The projections were based on no one doing anything to mitigate the spread of the disease. Borders were closed, masks were worn, social interaction was restricted. Really really big measures were taken that affected the entire country, even the holdouts who wouldn't take measures locally. You don't know that if no one had taken any of the recommended measures those really, really big numbers would not have come to pass.

The "eggheads" shouldn't be upset about not being listened to, they should be upset about not being understood.
