An influential model cited by the White House has cut its projected coronavirus death toll by 26 percent — along with its forecast of the fatalities for New York’s worst day.

As of Wednesday, the University of Washington’s model now predicts that 60,000 Americans will die in the pandemic by Aug. 4, down from a projection of nearly 82,000 just a day earlier.

Nationwide, the model moves the country’s coronavirus death toll apex to Sunday — four days sooner than expected — when 2,212 people are projected to perish from the deadly bug.

The new forecast still predicts that the Empire State’s apex will be Thursday, but now with 780 people dying of the virus, a decrease from the 878 previously predicted.

The White House task force has previously cited the model, created by the college’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, when estimating that between 100,000 and 240,000 will die in the country before a vaccine is released.

As of Wednesday, the US death toll was more than 13,000, with over 400,000 confirmed cases nationwide, according to Johns Hopkins University data.

In only 5 months though? 60k?


That’s about 6x more than the swine flu in half the time. And almost double the amount of annual flu deaths on average. AND we had restrictions/shutdown when annual flu and swine flu we did/do nothing.


So. You guys said this wasn’t a big deal? But you were questioning why we didn’t close for the swine flu. Interesting

And 30,000 to 60,000 have died of influenza (flu) in America from last November up to March (4 months)

And now suddenly we don't hear of anyone dying from influenza.......probably because they're being lumped into the Corona virus pile.

Yes I know you want to use the biggest flu year we saw in a decade. I know you’d like to do that. But quit the propaganda. On average, your master Trump said....35-40K on average is a typical flu year. Don’t try to do that with me. Not going to work.


Do you want the transcript? I mean this is holy grail shit. It’s from trumps mouth. Not the cdc or WHO. Those bastards don’t know anything compared to Trump. Do you want the transcript?
