“I’m just posting the numbers.”
You should post more, like the actual context:
“Recent news reports have shown a CDC estimate of 80,000 total flu deaths in the U.S. in the past year, based on a different method of statistical analysis that tries to assess where flu may have been a factor in a person’s death even if it isn’t listed on a death certificate.”

As of 2/9 7pm EST, actual cases and deaths are significantly overshooting an earlier model predicting doubling every 7 days: Week 15 from Patient Zero: 32,768 vs. 40,128 and 737 vs. 906.
