I don’t think they realize that we don’t believe a damned thing they say anymore. Their “models” are straight out of the rectal database.
‘up 14,000 from the previous estimate, according to a report.’
the fear contingent of FR dances with glee...
It is like they make predictions on the death count and more bad stuff happens because they have to be right.
The predictions are stealth death sentences for many.
Wen this is over they will be correct with their final projection.
Is this “increase” to 75,000 an “increase” from the 2 million deaths that were predicted and widely publicized in late March?
Or an “increase” from the 200,000 that Dr. Fauci predicted and was widely publicized about 10 days ago.
If after all this time, the predicted death toll is still “increasing”, Trump must be doing a really bad job. /sarc
And if the number of deaths from this virus is now approaching the total from a really bad flu season, we absolutely need to shut down our economy and all those nasty, irresponsible, greedy businesses that employ us for at least another 6 months. /sarc
NY and other states are padding the totals to get more federal aid. It wouldn’t surprise me to see the total hit 80K by Aug 4.
Someday, everybody alive today will die. News at Eleven.
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.
The way they are running these models on the last day they will finally have the “prediction” dialed in and we will all hear for months how wonderful and accurate they all were on CNN.
If you try to open up your state to prevent a deadly economic collapse, you are a racist, sexist, homophobic profiteer who wants old people to die. /sarc
Is that with or with out the fictitious code of flu and heart deaths of elderly to the CV instead of the normal death it should have been marked as just to FU the numbers - confused - *ssholes??????
And we got it right this time. I swear the numbers are correct and we have not manipulated them to score political points. Honest. This time.
