2. The new 60,000 death projection is looking highly doubtful

I hope it does stay to 60,000 but we are a third there and this is going to go on for the rest of the year. I know they expect cases to drop off a lot next month but there is still another 7 months for deaths to come in. Even if it's a low number every day, if you have just a few for 200 days it adds way up.

3. Will be 60,000 by Wednesday or Thursday

9. What? 60,000 by Wednesday?

16. Might Be High

But, we did lose 10k in a week. And as far as we know, only one hot zone has peaked, while 3 others bubbled up.
Last week could be typical for a bit.
30k by this time next week is not terribly unlikely.

14. That seems quite possible: the daily increase over the last month looks like 28%,

which (starting from the current 18600 does lead to 60000 by Wednesday or Thursday

6. If anything - they've mostly missed on the high end up until now

Since they revised their projections downward, they've been quite close.

we are a third there and this is going to go on for the rest of the year

As I understand it, their projections are not for total deaths, but rather deaths through some time in August assuming social distancing is maintained. They're working on projections for what happens in various "reopen" models.

7. Goodie, 130 more and we beat Italy.

8. Our elderly

community are dying in Nursing Homes and nothing is being done. Nothing is being said from this filthy regime.


Those in prisons are dying too from the virus.

[malaise]

12. So we know they don't give a flying fuck about prisoners

but how can they treat senior citizens in this way.

[DeminPennswoods]

13. People in nursing homes and assisted living

facilities, regardless of age, are just more at risk from any disease. They are generally older and sicker and harder to isolate. Every flu season is a worry at these facilities.

10. Senile Donnie Denial's Debacle of Death

Ain't no one rising from those graves this Easter weekend...

15. Add a zero to the number of cases. You still won't get close to the real number

Until you test everyone, you don't KNOW how many people are infected. YOu only know how many ouot of those tested were infected.

Here in Germany, they are reporting 100,000 cases of infection. Great, they have tested maybe 2½% of the population. Are we supposed to believe that there zero cases among the 97½% that has NOT been tested? Here, if you die from it, but didn't get tested for it, then according to the government, you died from something else. ANYTHING else. Just not the virus.

The government's attitude here is:
