They say that their computer models have “learning” algorithms that continue to get updated, which means, EVENTUALLY, they’ll get it right...

Yeah...after they have put 100 million out of work, totally destroyed the economy and sent suicides up by 1000%.

Given how it is with the other coronaviruses where we get tens of millions of infections every year, I get the impression that it won’t go away.

Just looking at the predictions made in my lifetime: “climate change”, peak oil, global famine, nuclear catastrophe, yadda yadda...

When have the leftist predictions ever been close to correct?

“The one number they can’t BS are hospitalizations. “

Yes. Deaths are what matter. Hospitalization is also a good marker. Hospitalization data can be harder to get, though.

Cases mean little to nothing.

If we die of anything it will be from all the BS being crammed down our throats.

More like paranoid self-appointed enforcers.

I should have put the sarcasm note in there but I thought “Comrade” would give it away.

Sorry to have upset you.

IHME is funded by the Gates foundation and the Vaccine Alliance.

Their models error on the high side.

They appear to have an agenda.

Our betters have decided we are non-essential... to them.

The fact that we are essential to ourselves is not their problem.

On the prediction of +2700 the upper range and lower ranges were decreased. This is at best statistical noise on the model.

Wait it was 2.2 million deaths, then 1 million deaths. Now it’s 100,000...…….. who is making these estimates? Are they using a Magic 8-Ball?

I am well versed with Florida. I search the Florida DOH everyday and it breaks things down to the county level. Most counties (all but one today) show a positive test rate of well under 5%. The governors of Verizon’s states said reopening should occur when under 10% consistently. I believe the federal government said this as well

As for hospitalizations. Dropping like a boulder. Most hospitals have absolutely no one in them. Utilizing 25% of beds. Elective surgery is back full tilt but today I had zero patients in one of my IcUs. That’s not zero CoVId. That’s zero patients as in the ICU is closed and nurses and respiratory therapists sent on and placed on call

In my opinion there is zero reason why we shouldn’t be fully open in my region based on the numbers. No restriction. Normal.

What happened to their other predictions?
And they are taking aim at South Dakota Montana and North Dakota and kissing up to NY/NJ?
How many deaths does South Dakota have as compared to NY/NJ?
How many of those “coronavirus deaths” are WITH coronavirus as against from coronavirus? Their projections are worthless. Their death figures are worthless.

80,000 already.
100,000 by end of May- first week of June.

Every one is not going to die.
But a lot of Americans are going to die from this.

“We will easily get to 137 000 by August.”

500 a day 45000 in three months.

Currently at 81141 + 45000 = 126141 deaths by end of Aug.

The 500 is just a wild guess average number. Yesterday was 750.

I will have to agree it possible to get to 137000 by the end of Aug. Not sure if they mean Aug 1.

I do not see US wide lock downs.
