This "reporter"(Yaron Steinbuch) is making up numbers.

Up 14,000 from the previous estimate? Not so.

Up to date and directly from the IHME website (his source):

"Based on the latest available data, the COVID-19 epidemic’s first wave could cause 74,073 cumulative deaths (estimate range 56,563 to 130,666) in the US. The total from today’s release is higher than average predictions published on April 22 (67,641, with an estimate range of 48,058 to 123,157) ... "

So the previous estimate by IHME was 67,641(on 4/22/20) not 60,000 as the reporter states.
