It's fake fear-mongering model showing a big increase in deaths if we end the shut downs.
quote:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is projecting the U.S. coronavirus daily death toll to reach about 3,000 people by June 1, with 200,000 new cases per day by the same date, the New York Times reported on Monday.

The projections were compiled into charts currently used by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Data and modeling from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show that the federal government is expecting the number of cases and deaths associated with the pandemic to continue mounting, even as President Trump and other officials push for states to lift restrictions meant to slow the spread of the virus in favor of reopening businesses.

The Times posted the documents, which show the CDC and Federal Emergency Management Agency forecast a steady increase in the number of new cases per day. The projections show the U.S. reaching 200,000 new cases daily by June 1 with a daily death toll of roughly 3,000. The current daily death toll varies, but typically falls between 1,500 and 2,000.

Karen is horrifically bad at stats while serving in a position that sort of should require she not be that bad at it.

Even if true.....99.8% will survive and about 95% will recover without needing any medical intervention at all.

We are acting like this is fricking Ebola.

This virus is some weak arse shite and we know who the most vulnerable are so that's where the focus should be.

Literally 99.99% of healthy people under 65 have absolutely nothing to fear from the Wuhan China Kung Flu.

Was that before or after they halved the amount of deaths attributed to it?

Let's not start pretending like they are suddenly competent and truthful here folks.

Wish it would be policy to tag the members of the CDC who are stating this fearmongering BS.

That way when this 3k deaths/day shows false, we know who to cut in the next cycle. Go chicken little somewhere else.

3,000 on June 1st does not seem reasonable.

AI Covid Projections

This site has been quite good at projecting deaths, and it’s predicting 1,042 deaths on June 1st with a 95% CI between 324 and 2049. So 3,000 would be 46.4% greater than the 97.5th percentile projection, which is around the 99.993rd percentile.

Did CDC Karen ever bother to substantiate the "overrun hospitals" line on the original flat v. steep curve "model" (MS Paint pictograph)? (You know that purdy picture that was the sole basis for all the shutdowns?)



Where are "we" (as if every population center is the same) in relation to that dotted line? I'm not sure anyone has ever been able to tell me that without just making up shite.

Why did they choose 3k? Why not 4K or hell make it 10k? They should say that it will all stop in November if Biden is elected.

So Texas has no more than what it has had even with being open for the first 6 weeks of it but it is going to get a zillion cases now when it is approaching 90 degrees daily.

According to the latest CDC COVIDView report, increases in hospitalization rates for COVID-19, which are cumulative, have started to level off. The hospitalization rate is highest among adults 65 and older and similar to what has been seen during a comparable time period during a recent high severity flu season


Which is it going to be Karen.

This might come as a shock to some people but the Admin has requested that a lot of different scenarios be modeled and isn't hugging any one particular model. Some of the results are bleak and some are more promising but I guess we see which type are getting leaked.

These projections are in the same boat as the “2M dead Americans” and “20M Texans infected” projections. They can frick right off.

CDC has never been right about anything. It's a golden goose job for eggheads. Overinflated budgets, jobs for life, and a generous retirement. CDC was caught completely flat footed by COVID19, and was just as complicit as the WHO.

What will they or the media say about it when they end up being wrong?

Nothing. It was just a model.

These libs will do anything to wreck this country. They're proving it now.

Lets not forget that 2.8 million people died in the US in 2019.


If all they do is "attribute" 90000 to Covid in June...

Well...
