![Screenshot of Kevin Hassett's wikipedia page (as of 2025-02-19):
In the Trump administration, Hassett was the 29th chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers from September 2017 to June 2019. He returned to the White House in 2020 to work on the administration's response to the coronavirus pandemic. Hassett did not focus on public health policy, but rather influenced the administration's response from an economic angle amid lockdowns and social distancing. [START HIGHLIGHT] Hassett built a model that indicated that COVID-19 deaths would drop off to near zero by May 2020. [END HIGHLIGHT] Hassett's model contradicted assessments by public health experts, and was ridiculed by academics and commentators.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:oncp2d5odqi6p7gnbzbixx7e/bafkreifh46tdlpbda35didpmqfqrdgdkwb5ge6hj76azud24kbqg6tblki)
