Coronavirus infections could reach as high as 5.4 million in the US in the next two months and more than 290,000 Americans could die if social distancing isn't adhered to, according to a COVID-19 forecast model.

The ominous forecast from the University Of Pennsylvania's Wharton School model accounts for all states fully reopening without any social distancing measures.

In comparison, the model predicts nearly 4.3 million cases and 230,000 deaths by July 24 if states reopen but individuals maintain their social distancing efforts.

Yawn

Cut back on the sugar.

They can take their model and shove it! People die either way.

These “scientists” sound like the same ones who created “climate change”.

Time to Prescribe the Trump Pills

I thought it was gonna be millions? 1-2 million in Cali alone!!

Now, what do the “experts” claim???

F/&i

[Wuli]

The same school that employed the “climate scientist” who created the famous “hockey stick” results out of his climate “model”.

GIGO - garbage (assumptions) in, garbage (model) out

We're not going to get anywhere near 230,000 deaths. Remember the sun and humidity kill it...dead in it's tracks.

Get OUT in the sun and let God give you a hand in this battle. And don't use sun screen. Just limit your time.

How come they never hold the people accountable for creating models that are wildly wrong?

blah blah blah.....

Most common words in "news" articles about COVID:

POSSIBLY

Have yourself another heaping helping of COVID propaganda...

Hmmmm, where have we seen this before..?

- Forecast from University Of Pennsylvania's Wharton School model predicts COVID-19 cases will reach 5.4 million and death toll could be 290,000 by July 24 Ominous forecast accounts for all states fully reopening without any social distancing measures

- Meanwhile, a separate model from the UMass Influenza Forecasting Center of Excellence is projecting that deaths will surpass 113,000 by mid-June

"I'm gonna model 'til I get my way" time again!

Prediction 12 months:
As many as 200 million Americans will be infected before the level of antibodies in the herd, and hopefully natural mutation, move this virus toward its reduced threat to the species.
The death rate among the population could be .01 %. Or less if they stop playing politics over treatment.
There won’t be a vaccine.
So we’d best slow- walk this pandemic along and not destroy our society in the process,

Is this from the Lothario who snuck over to dick his married girlfriend in violation of stay at home rules? Just checking.
