“You should probably keep your wildly exaggerated fear mongering to yourself. It is not backed by anything other than nonsense from slanted sources and your own confirmation bias.”

I predict 300k dead by the end of the year. Post your prediction and we’ll compare on December 31st.

Here is a good site with various models: https://reichlab.io/covid19-forecast-hub/

Using the median of the models, there will be 130k dead by the end of June. I’d guess around 135,000 as I lean towards the “deadlier” models.

I am glad that you are getting so much entertainment out of the misery of others. I hate to break it to you but the numbers you are so fixated on have been shown to be greatly exaggerated.

My wife’s brother died this year. He had brain cancer and was on hospice care. He was counted as a “presumptive” covid-19 death by CDC guidelines. We were having a bad flu season this year in King County, WA just as you were in Travis County. Miraculously after they started tallying coronavirus deaths we and you basically stopped having flu deaths. Look it up. Our governor and his health department numbers were shown to be over reported by at least 20%.

I must apologize. Despite living in the first hotspot in the country or maybe because of it, my BS meter has been pegged out for months now. Normally, I could put up with hysterical idiots driving around town alone in their cars while wearing masks and goggles, or walking, jogging or bicycling alone outside with the same type of gear.

If normal seasonal flu was counted the same way that our government and media is counting Covid we would be hitting half a million deaths in this country basically every year. It has run its course where we live... the vast majority here do not know anyone who was confirmed to have been sick with it, let alone died. So as I said previously, peddle your hysteria somewhere else, people here have had their fill around here.
