The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Thursday forecast the U.S. death toll from the coronavirus could reach as high as 143,000 by the end of the month.

In a death forecast weekly update, the CDC predicted -- based on 20 individual national forecast models from various institutions -- that the U.S. death toll from COVID-19 could reach between 118,000 and 143,000 by June 27.

1. My prediction in the middle of April was 122,000 by August 1

Looks like I was too optimistic.

Depends on which website we use.
It's close to 2 million Americans infected as well.
