When STAT first compared projected U.S. deaths from Covid-19, in early April, there seemed to be a glimmer of good news: A prominent model had just lowered its estimate for total deaths through Aug. 4 from about 100,000 to 60,000, reflecting the apparent success of three weeks of social distancing across much of the country.
On Wednesday, April 29, the country blew past 60,000, more than three months before the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation projected. (The 60,000 almost certainly undercounts Covid-19 deaths, by about 9,000.) IHME, whose model has been criticized by many epidemiologists, now says the most likely death toll on Aug. 4 will be 72,433, though it could be as low as about 60,000 (obviously impossible) and as high as 115,000.

Biden just said it’s “600,000” now.

That’s an incomplete count.
Florida has a completely different climate and population density.
I haven't read anything to confirm what you're saying. Besides they're having problems in Ecuador which is a tropical country the last time I checked.
that’s my feeling pal
CDC only ever plays with “estimates” and the stats we’ve been seeing from 2009-2010 are the “middle” estimate, could actually have been twice as many (and some indications are that was the case).
today’s estimates have high bias.
Thank you for posting- Im going to look into that now. Very promising.
Oddly enough, BHT is commonly found in lychee fruit, which is very popular in China. Maybe that helped some of them.
So then stay home and let the rest of us live life. Fearing death isn’t living
The ignorance on this board based on hatred of the Northeast is hysterical.
I want I wonder if cases explode in a state not up here if you guys will post at all.
Kaga. Thankfully our heroes destroyed her and her 3 sisters on 6-4-1942
Better to stick to KAG, and ditch KAGA
If you subtract the CDC pneumonia deaths (16,564) you get 37,692.
That is statistically the same as what CDC reported for April 25 on Table 1 (37,308).
It appears that US COVID-19 deaths are being overestimated by many web sites, by adding all Pneumonia deaths and assuming they're all caused by COVID-19. That would mean today's US total is ~67k, but actual number may be closer to 50-51K.
60,000 is a big huge lie.
Careful there Captain Dave... you're making FAR TOO MUCH SENSE with those stats.
You'll be ATTACKED for spreading the facts.
We'll drop by your plot for a word.
Loved it!
Spoken like a true American with real COMPASSION.
Ecuador always has problems
You are only paying attention to Fauci and Birx
