total deaths from Coronavirus:
March 1: 2
April 1: 4800
May 1: we will be over 60,000 (currently 54,000)
Exactly how are we on a downward trajectory ready to reopen?
By the way 60,000 deaths was the number that the Washington Model had earlier this month for deaths
thru August 4. We are going to hit that by May 1.
And the number of 60,000 in the Washington Model was if everything was shutdown. Remember Trump saying the model showed 2.2 million if we did nothing. So if we are going to open everything up, don't we go right back to that 2.2 million projection number?
I am not trying to be a doom-sayer here. I just fail to see how anything has changed. If we open up aren't we right back to where we were March 15, which was 2.2 million deaths projected? Seems like the decision to closed was based on science, and the projection models and the decision to open is because people have decided they are tired of staying home.
