According to the official projections, there are supposed to be 19,946 covid-19 deaths by next Friday. So let's round it up and say 20,000 even by Friday April, 10th. As of today the figure is about 6,900 with about half the cases in NY/NJ.

Mark down in the comments whether you are taking the over or under.

I am taking the under.

I'll also say, that if this "surge" does not materialize as forecast within the next 2 weeks, Trump will be forced to make reccomendations to open things up quicker.

Because, one thing is for sure, last week's unemployment claims figure of 6 million, implies that April would be looking at 20 million plus additional claims.


EDIT

We'll use the Worldometer for the official total: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

The powers that be have shut us down because 2 million deaths were originally projected. Now Trump says the range is 100k-200k over the course of the year.

I think it's worth talking about this and seeing whether or not these exponential forecasts are anywhere close to right.

Very few public figures are coming forward to dispute any of these forecasts and it's like everything out of Fauci's and the rest of the medical industrial complex's mouth is taken as gospel.
