"At the end of the day, the numbers that we're hearing are not going to be totally correct or not correct at all"
About this Quote
The specific intent reads as de-escalation. It's the rhetorical equivalent of raising your hands and backing away from the podium: don't quote me, don't build policy on this, don't treat early reports like scripture. The subtext is distrust without accusation. He doesn't say "they're lying" or "the media is wrong". He suggests the softer, more corrosive reality: accuracy is a spectrum, and the numbers will be shaped by incomplete data, incentives, and panic.
Coming from an actor best known for weaponizing awkwardness and ambiguity, the line also functions as cultural commentary. In Levy's comedy universe, people survive uncomfortable situations by buffering themselves with hedges, qualifiers, and polite vagueness. Here, that comedic instinct doubles as media literacy: when uncertainty is the honest answer, we still demand a clean one, and language twists itself to satisfy both.
