Best to aim high. It wasn't long ago that Trump was claiming that shutting off airflow from China had done the trick, and that we were following 15 cases and their contacts. Nothing against Trump, hope has its place and he's been fed a lot of misinformation, but over-estimating now is better than falling way behind the curve, like we did then.

...
I’m skeptical of anything from these people. And I’m sure the president is also. However I doubt he has anybody else that he can call on or rely on at this point in the doctors pool of people. That is probably something we haven’t thought about and that is there’s probably very few authorities that he can call on who would have his back.

Not very skeptical. I anticipated 70,000. But whatever the flu was, this should about triple that number.

Sadly.

There still looking at this guys model....Models are nothing but guesses...

We will see if they are right or not...by then we will all be broke

His Imperial College London model was heavily cited, including by The New York Times, and has helped guide government decision-making, which has occasionally bordered on hysteria.

But Ferguson also said that things could change if governments took strong action to slow the virus and “flatten the curve” — the upward swing of the number of infected.

Earlier this week, Ferguson — who himself has contracted the virus — testified before the Houses of Parliament and said the death toll in the U.K. could be less than 20,000.

“He said that expected increases in National Health Service capacity and ongoing restrictions to people’s movements make him ‘reasonably confident’ the health service can cope when the predicted peak of the epidemic arrives in two or three weeks. UK deaths from the disease are now unlikely to exceed 20,000, he said, and could be much lower,”

It likely wont be anywhere near that number, like when people were estimating 10,000 people were killed on 9-11.

You should be and as stated by Fauci and Birx the models are only as good as the data they are based on so garbage in then garbage out. We’ll never have complete and accurate data only predicted data.

What we will know is the number of deaths associated with COVID-19 but even that number won’t tell the true story because what did they actually die from?

We’ll also know from all of the COVID-19 tests that were taken and submitted how many were infected but that’s irrelevant because everyone in the US would have to be tested and all of the results known otherwise it’s a useless statistic.

Does that include the addition of 100, 000 new ventilators and millions of more masks gloves and plenty of rooms they are opening up? That number suggests a lot of double and triple prexisting conditions, comorbidities

That unfortunately IS believable.

Obesity, Diabetes, fragile circulatory and arterial systems, long term lung damage from smoking, toking, vaping smog, innercity problems like roach and mice allergins, HIV trashed immune systems, drug use (i feel sick already)... Start Spreading the News,
New York Neeeew Yooooork!!!

I had such high hopes for “Just the News” being John Solomon’s publication.

THE WHITE HOUSE DID NO SUCH THING.

Mr. Solomon, what a disappointment you are.
