The model projected that New York would need 65,400 hospital beds by April 4, but only 15,905 were actually used, according to former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson.
President Donald Trump said Sunday that the coronavirus model the White House has been using overestimated the number of beds that would be needed to treat patients.
The president admitted that the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) model his administration was using has been off on the number of hospital beds needed, but did not say whether he would be open to changing the type of models he’s been using
“It’s turning out that we need less hospital beds,” Trump said at the coronavirus task force’s daily press briefing. “We may have models, but we’ve been sort of saying that. In New York, we were saying we think you’re gonna need less.”

Fauci exaggerating
Chances are good they have overestimated the number of ventilators needed too.
Why doesn't Trump tell him to shut up.?
Not just the beds that’s for sure.
If Trump underestimated them what would the Media say?? That he was killing people, of course. Better to overestimate than under in such circumstances.
I consider this a good thing, it proves this isn’t as bad as the predictions and current mitigation is working better then predicted.
Great Job President Trump and his team.
FRAUD Fauci....Hilliary LOVE Letter writer and CRIER at her speeches!! He is a Deep State Coup Plotter!!
“Better to overestimate than under in such circumstances.”
Yep
It is better to overestimate than under.
Then again, he could nail it and the media would still bish.
There have also been reports of deaths registered as due to the virus which were not due to the virus. So the actual death count due to the virus is not accurate, either.
Does anybody KNOW anything????
Trump better go Peter Navarro for advice.......get the economy open
White House trade adviser Peter Navarro on Monday said he was qualified to engage and disagree with Dr. Anthony Fauci on the use of an anti-malarial drug as a coronavirus treatment
“Doctors disagree about things all the time. My qualifications in terms of looking at the science is that I’m a social scientist,” he told CNN’s John Berman on “New Day.” “I have a Ph.D. And I understand how to read statistical studies, whether it’s in medicine, the law, economics or whatever
And we are shutting down until when over this over-hyped illness?
Chances are good they have overestimated the number of ventilators needed too.
.....
Exactly!
Now for some irony; I’m sure Birx and Fauci will double down on their mitigation routine, and recommending an additional month or so of quarantine!
Trump needs to put a stop to this bull sh*t now!
Better to have and not need....
“The model projected that New York would need 65,400 hospital beds by April 4,”
It almost certainly did not. The model would have predicted a range of values, 65K was the high end of the range.
“Fauci exaggerating”
Fauci said all along that with stringent mitigation we wouldn’t see those numbers as the models used past behavior.
“Why is FOX pimping that slut cuomo “
Because at least half of Fox supports the Dem
Under promise and over deliver. It’s a basic concept in the service industry.
