The Trump administration is projecting that the United States could see up to 3,000 deaths per day from the coronavirus by June 1, a person familiar with internal documents confirmed to The Hill on Monday.
Data and modeling from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show that the federal government is expecting the number of cases and deaths associated with the pandemic to continue mounting, even as President Trump and other officials push for states to lift restrictions meant to slow the spread of the virus in favor of reopening businesses.
The New York Times, which was the first to report on the projections, posted the documents, which show the CDC and Federal Emergency Management Agency forecast a steady increase in the number of new cases per day.
The projections show the U.S. reaching 200,000 new cases daily by June 1 with a daily death toll of roughly 3,000. The number of daily cases peaked in late April at just over 30,000. The current daily death toll varies, but typically falls between 1,500 and 2,000.

“modeling”.....
Is that what they’re “predicting”? Well my, my. My, my, my. Guess we’re all dead, huh?
So social distancing is a failure? When the daily numbers were falling, we were told it was because of the shutdown.
What’s their story now - Globull warming?
Nope
white house dismissed this cdc wild assed guess
Let us hope not. I really really wish the Flubros were right, but I fear they are foolishly wrong.
No, just 3,000 a day, by June, is how I read it, Woody.

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.”
fake news
Said the unnamed government official who is familiar with
the documents.
Wind from a monkey’s backside says I.
Mike
3,000 babies are aborted every day and the Left wants more!
Basically the Govt wants us to stay home forever, our rotting carcasses being found in our beds
So we’re talking 200,000 NEW cases every day by June 1st?
6 million new cases over a month?! 90,000 monthly deaths?
Where are they pulling these numbers from? This is absurd.
“... up to...”
I predict “up to” infinity.
LOL!
We’ll definitely see a rise in cases as we test more.
30-million people in the third world are starving right now because of the shutdown, in addition to the 10-million that starve annually.
Keep this up another couple of months and it will be hundreds of millions.
Death to the modelers.
3,000 per day would mean the death toll would be getting worse and going backwards toward levels seen in early april.
That makes no sense.
The medical profession is already in 30 days time much further along, since early april, with taking severe cases and getting them resolved without a death. The 3,000 number would imply our health professionals have declined in their proficiency at caring for severe cases.
That 3,000 a day number would project the month of May alone as having a number of deaths nearly equal to the total deaths so far. Makes no sense at all.
BS.
totally fake news ... white house has already repudiated this false prediction ...
‘’’ 3,000 daily deaths by June 1’’
First, assuming this is true, then the elderly and those with major underlying health conditions should increase their sheltering as the ‘herd’ is let loose to infect each other.
We really need the ‘healthy herd’ to pass covid among themselves as they may not even have any symptoms and for sure the ‘healthy herd’ is not going to die from it.
But no deaths due to pneumonia nor heart failure.
