CDC forecast: 20,000 more Americans could die from COVID-19 in the next 21 days
CTV News ^ | 08/02/2020 | Christina Maxouris

The U.S. has reported more deaths linked to coronavirus than anywhere else in the world and updated models show 20,000 more Americans could die in just the next three weeks.

The ensemble forecast, published by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, projects more than 173,000 American deaths by Aug. 22. At least 154,447 Americans have died since the beginning of the pandemic.

Across the country, local leaders and public health experts have urged residents not to let their guard down as social gatherings, especially among younger groups, are fueling the spread of the virus. While some states across the South seem to be nearing their peak, experts say others, including in the Midwest, are raising new concern.

The CDC says new deaths are likely to increase in Alabama, Kentucky, New Jersey, Puerto Rico, Tennessee and Washington. Some of these states previously reported progress in their coronavirus numbers but are now raising their alarm again.

In New Jersey, officials reported there were no deaths in hospitals for at least 24 hours Thursday for the first time since early March. But as the state recorded this "extraordinary milestone," Gov. Phil Murphy said, daily cases rose since last month. At the end of June, positive coronavirus cases averaged around 350 a day and that number jumped to 550 at the end of July.

"We are standing in a very dangerous place," the governor said. The governor's remarks come just days after New Jersey officers broke up a party of about 700 people, even as the state's restrictions on gatherings remain.

"Everyone who walks around refusing to wear a mask or who hosts an indoor house party or who overstuffs a boat is directly contributing to these increases. This has to stop and it has to stop now."

The CDC competes with the climate change clowns for worst prediction of the month.

So far, it’s a close tie for the coveted “Coefficient of Wrongness Award”.

This widespread intentional fraud is on Trump.

Dr. Birx outright stated how widely they were overstating the deaths at one of the task force pressers months ago—and Trump has let that stand.

20,000 more?
I thought Cuomo, Murray and Wolf had killed all the elderly off weeks and months ago, by mixing the Red Chinese CCP Wuhan Death Virus-infected into the nursing homes.

However there is always BHT and one of it’s know characteristics is hat is will disable most lipid covered viruses by removing it’s lipid cover and by doing so prevent such a virus from doing it’s dirty work. This ability was discovered over forty years ago and a patent was applied for it, February 05-1976 under patent number US4350707. It is highly effective against a variety of lipid covered viruses with some of them being animal as well as human viruses such as. CMV (cytomegalovirus),9 pseudorabies,10 genital herpes,11HIV,12 and many strains of influenza.

These are just a few but not all of the viruses that have a lipid envelope and may be killed by BHT include herpes simplex I, herpes simplex II, herpes zoster, CMV, West Nile virus, HIV virus, influenza virus, hepatitis B and C viruses, avian flu influenza virus and the SARS virus and it so happens the corona virus also belongs to the family of lipid covered viruses. However, BHT has not been clinically tested to treat and address these infections individually, and there probably never will be as no money can be made, as amongst others the patent has expired.

Along here we may take it a step further. As such viruses enter the human body and encounter BHT most of them will be disabled without causing any further damage, however enough of such a damaged virus will remain to be detected by immune system of the human body which in turn may energize the human bodies own immune system to fight off any left over viruses in a process quite similar how some vaccines are produced artificially, utilizing deactivated viruses to stimulate the human bodies own immune system.

So we may conclude that BHT not only will kill such a virus, but as an added side benefit and in a roundabout way may also encourage the human body to set up its own defensive mechanism.

Covid is dangerous. Lingering on the lips of people without masks, flying through the air when they talk or breathe, settling on surfaces just waiting to infect you with invisible death. Wear your goggles!

Let’s do some arithmetic. If we assume the pandemic started on March 1st then currently it has been running for 180 days or so. With 154K deaths that averages to about 850 per day or 17.9K per three week period during the six month pandemic period. I am assuming a uniform distribution over this period, which is not true. But if there is a large amount of variation in the death tolls over time the 20,000 figure may not be all that remarkable.

But it makes for good news porn.

Die from the virus? Or die while tested positive, maybe with no symptoms or mild symptoms?

I wonder what prodigy reckoned this. Deaths are running 1,000 per day. We could lose 20K in 3 weeks. I see genius behind these calculations

True, but we cannot expect Trump to do it all for us. The grassroots can do much to get the word out to people who are getting tired of a cure that is worse than the disease.
