Revised Covid-19 model reveals grim news

A key Coronavirus model often cited by President Donald Trump's coronavirus task force, now says that deaths from Covid-19 will rise. Built by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington, the model projects that there will be over 74,000 deaths by August 4.
CNN's Erica Hill and Dr. Sanjay Gupta report.

    1. @Akela DeWolf wow. If your just going to make up stats about your own country maybe you should just stfu. Your as bad as the CCP dumbass.

    2. Germany R0 = currently 0,9 (was even down to 0,7 for a short while). Not New Zealand numbers yet, but reassuring and well on the way.

    3. Akela DeWolf
      328 million 55,000 deaths
      4.8 million 19 deaths
      Even someone as dumb as you should be able to do the math

    4. Jim Alley to be fair, about 1/4 of the US deaths are just in New York City. When you pack twice the population of New Zealand into the size of a city, of course the R0 will be higher

    1. The numbers will be way higher in actuality. This is the most conservative of the models, and it WAY under-forecasts deaths.

  1. It’s to hard to test everyone it’s easier to just watch them die and blame it on cancer. We don’t have enough money to test everyone anyway we already gave the rich the money and what do you need money for you’re gonna die anyway.

    1. @Snaggle Toothed if you want Russian connections explain the Clinton foundation to skokovo and how our military research gets to Moscow before our guys?

    2. @Snaggle Toothed first off just because you shared your personal history epically failing to attack me just revealed how much of a racist prick you are.

      Second my grandfather served as a paratrooper during Normandy in WW2 with the 82nd airborne, my father was a marine,my uncle served in the air force and I personally served as a tank driver in the army for three years.I served with 3ID,2BN,1-64 armor D-Co

      My grandfather’s brother (Don Newcombe) pitched with Jackie Robinson.BTW Jackie server as a tank commander with the 758th which got renamed 1-64 after WW2.

      Considering how complex tanks are,if I’m unable to read as you’ve inaccurately stated,how could I possibly know how to operate it.you know minor things like reading a topographical map and use a compass,shoot accurately and maintain a rifle.all the while be a city kid from NJ.

      I have had non coms from the south,when compared to your statements are Rhode scholars compared to you.

      It figures since those days of slavery you democrats have always been racist.
      Pulling the race card just shows you have no ammunition and couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn if you had a full drum and were 10 ft from it

      Seeing something on television does not equal knowledge

      That’s what you’ve been told

      Knowledge requires research
      An STUDY.

      The television does not give you knowledge

      That’s why they call it television “programming”

    2. Then why am I not sick?

      I live in the city of 6 million

      I don’t know any sick people

      My observation
      and life experience
      should be put to the side

      And I trust what they say on TV?

      Balderdash

    3. @Roddy MacChlerich Just wait. Besides you probably will never feel sick while you spread it among those around you and they may die. But don’t worry you will be ok.

    4. @Roddy MacChlerich While I agree with you generally, I want to point out that rejecting everything on television is not wisdom.

    5. @Roddy MacChlerich with wrong with people like you? I mean is your brain recieving a lack of oxygen? Is your soul posses by an evil spirit? Has to be evil spirits because you have no emphatic emotions at all.

    1. @Carlos Dominguez You were the one who brought H1N1 in a Covid-19 discussion. By your own logic, that makes you an idiot!

      If you don’t want to draw comparisons to H1N1, don’t bring it into the conversation. Big oops there!

    2. Moseeplo who created this virus why aren’t you attacking them? I’m sure CNN said that WHO did this and did that. Just remember CNN was wrong about Hilary winning, Russia collusion, Impeachment and now this. I will say the evidence that this network has one agenda and that’s to do whatever it takes to get Trump out of office. That’s fine because while in this process they’re just looking terrible. Look at those ratings.

    3. @Carlos Dominguez However, the standard flu doesn’t kill as many people/day as we have seen covid-19 kill in the past month.

      And I still see you tip-toed around your silly assertion that all deaths are listed as covid-19 now! Anyways, I’ll leave you to your tinfoil hat and broken logic! Have fun! 🤣🤣🤣

    4. Remember when the Chinese and the WHO lied about it not being spread by human to human contact? Or Fauci saying it was nothing to worry about? Or pelosi telling people to go to Chinatown and be out and about?

    1. David Mccann agree but even if it isn’t, these numbers are total bullish!t. Every illness including “presumptions” are added to that total. Funny how ppl just leave that part out.

  2. More like 74K ‘more’ deaths by that time, and maybe more because the summer isn’t going to be as much of a factor as people think.

  3. Week 4 into quarantine: ive managed to recreate the flavor of tonic water at home by pouring lime juice adding water and sugar.

    1. spektrumB way more. There people sick who don’t know they are sick and are not in the statistics

    2. Looking at how reckless some red state governors are being by opening their states early, I dont doubt that

    3. @David Goldman what happened is we locked down the country and started social distancing. Do you not get that those models are constantly updating based on current data?

    4. @David Goldman What happened? We locked down. That was the point, you know. Of course, when we did it, we knew people like you would be making precisely this kind of idiotic comment.

    5. That model predicts only 200 people will die for the entire month of June. It will go away in the summer like a miracle despite the fact primary transmission is indoors.

  4. I’m beginning to doubt the abilities of Dr. Anthony Fauci if he’s saying there’s going to be a total of 74,000 deaths by August. If that’s what they are saying then that’s way off. Right now we have just over 59,000 deaths. Yesterday alone there was 2,470 deaths in the US. In the last month there has been between 1,200 and 2,000 deaths per day. And that’s with us staying at home. Now that some states are returning to semi-normal I fully expect to see the death rate to remain the same or rise. If that happens there will be at least 90,000 more deaths by August 4th. That will be a total of 150,000 deaths by August 4th. And believe me that’s an understatement. We will reach total of 74,000 deaths by May 10th. We will pass 60,000 deaths by May1st. The only thing that is going to save us is if when we return to work our employers will be smart enough to keep this virus from spreading in the workplace. And hopefully the safety training that employees receive at work will filter down through society. If the employers are smart enough to beat this virus and workers will take their employers seriously and catch on to the safety training at work and carry that training home then we have a chance. I’m here to tell you, we don’t have any leadership in Washington or at the State levels. Trump is an idiot and Congress and the State Houses are full of idiots. I have no confidence in our leadership.

    1. OMG NOOOO what next…. every day the news of what happens outside this house i cant leave for no reason makes me want to maybe just stay in without anyone telling me to. its a real sh!t show out there. i even heard the animals are animallin’ who knew all this craziness in one short life span …

    1. This prediction will fail, because the actual number will be way higher than this by August. We’re already at 60,000 and losing 2,000 people per day, and that’s not even counting most of the probable deaths.

    1. @Gameslord it’s truly horrific. I had no idea. I can’t understand why they don’t put them into a medically induced coma so their deaths won’t be so agonizing. But they only do that when put on a ventilator.

    2. SuperStormThunder That’s because most states already reached their peak. The line has been flattened in most states. Hospitals aren’t getting overwhelm anymore. So UW’s prediction is not off at all

    3. Hans Otto Kroeger
      Neither was the USS Comfort.
      What did if take, a week and the Army Corps of Engineers changed that.
      The hospital in Central Park set by Samaritans Purse. Armed and ready for COVID patients. I never heard just how many patients were taken there. Have you?
      Sad when the states plunder’s their tax dollars under the pretense of taking care of them. That’s the Governors,
      and the elected public servant’s job.
      They drop the ball, then scream for the Feds help.
      Poor management at the state level is not the fault of the Federal Government.

    4. SuperStormThunder
      You mean you’re incapable of doing both? I’m retired, pretty much live off the grid. And can stay this way for another 45 days. How? Being prepared.
      The key word is healthy. And I would bet I am in as good condition as a 35-year-old.

  5. We’re not idiots it’s going to come back no matter when we open. I can’t imagine too many people are foolish enough to think that this is ever going to go away.

    1. It will never go away and neither will the overpriced drugs and vaccine to treat it. But Fauci knows all about that. Even when the pandemic would happen.

  6. My wife and I have her last son left to finish HS. I really don’t care what anybody says about starting school in a short time, I am not putting his life in strangers hands. Home school, save his life!

    1. guadalupe torres
      Yes it is my son. When you take that person as your wife you take everything in he life that comes with it. And vise versa. If you feel that way I understand.

    2. Jsp force 8 , gvs ellipse , 3M 6000, 6500, 7000 for doctors and workers. You need at least p-100 filters which DO filter down to 0.3 microns. Or you can get full face masks like the Spaciani. Weaponsandstuff93 has individual videos on these matters. Watch tutorial and prep videos to learn how to properly wear it. Chemical grade hazmat suits like chemteck i think its called. Make a face shield out of shower curtains .

    3. He can get his GED or finish HS online. We’ll be killing 2k per day come August so I don’t think kids will be going back to school anytime soon.
