As nearly half of U.S. states begin to ease restrictions that were put in place to slow the spread of the coronavirus, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is quietly projecting a stark rise in the number of new cases of the virus and deaths from it over the next month.
Modeling from the CDC, incorporated into a chart prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and circulated within the administration, was obtained by the New York Times. It projects 200,000 new daily cases of the coronavirus by the end of May and 3,000 daily deaths in the U.S. At present, approximately 25,000 new cases are reported each day, with roughly 1,750 deaths.
Without disputing the accuracy of the modeling used by the CDC, the White House quickly distanced itself from the projections.
“This data is not reflective of any of the modeling done by the task force or data that the task force has analyzed,” White House deputy press secretary Judd Deere said in a Monday statement. “The president’s phased guidelines to open up America again are a scientific-driven approach that the top health and infectious disease experts in the federal government agreed with.”
Despite the growing risk of exposure and death from COVID-19, many states are proceeding with a relaxation of restrictions that were meant to slow the spread of the virus, which have brought the nation’s economy to a virtual halt. Those moves in states like Georgia and Texas do not follow the phased federal guidelines issued by President Trump’s coronavirus task force on April 16.
The guidelines were announced at a White House press briefing, where Trump proclaimed that “now that we have passed the peak in new cases, we’re starting our life again, we’re starting rejuvenation of our economy again, in a safe

There....hopefully everyone else won't have to say it.
Anything to scare people and blame Trump. I think Trump has a reasonable plan.
Florida opened beaches in many areas of the state on April 18 despite dire warnings from medical “experts”...here’s an interactive map which shows the number of reported cases of CCP flu in the state- which dropped after beaches were opened:

OH well protect your vulnerable and leave the others alone, they have a brain.
I don’t see it with rising temperatures.
But hey, “Panic!”
When the soaring rates of new cases they predict don’t happen, there is always the fall back that a second wave is just around the corner..
I don’t like the use of models or experts with no record of making accurate and actionable predictions, or worse, with a bad one.
If their predictions prove to be as accurate as their previous ones, do the CDC predictors promise to commit seppuku?
We’ll be willing to help.
If treated immediately, the majority will be ok.

Italy and Spain both reopening and their new case rates are still dropping rapidly. The past few weeks.

What if they’re right?
What if they’re wrong?
CDC is getting increasingly shrill just like the Global warming crowd & for the same reason. Their lies are being exposed.

President Trump appears to, just ask Fauci and Birx.
I’ll take my chances on covid vs starvation and riots. Looks like those that wish for the collapse are losing the public, and they know it.
Remember this comes from the CDC. Their primary focus was to be prepared for just such an occasion, and look at where we are. Apparently going to all the conferences didn’t get us ready.
Hey Y’all don your masks, so i dont need to.
keep up the good work
It only makes sense.
People stayed home. They weren’t exposed.
The stay at home orders had nothing to do with stopping the deaths, just limiting the pressure on the healthcare systems.
As long as the ICUs are open and have space, run wild and spread it around. Since it is unlikely we get a vaccine anytime soon...this is the only way to get through this.
