Do you see a 2020 season happening?

Oh look at that... projected deaths just dropped again. Now down to 60k projected deaths from 80k (in March it was close to 200k).

You do understand that based on how we react to the virus deaths can go up or down, right. It depends on us.

What I am posting are nationally leveraged models and projections, you understand that right?

You understand that, in mid-March 200k was projected with mitigation?

Guess that means we are doing a great job... I am a glass half-full type of guy though.

I know what the projection was. Again, how we react to this virus at this point is going to change the numbers.

It would have been great to massively test and then isolate but we missed that boat.

Yup

Would have been great to bet your life savings on the Saints to win the superbowl in 09, but we missed the boat...

All of their numbers are only projected into July. They don't account for the virus spreading through the population after we leave isolation. Their model is a pipe dream.

I'm not China's biggest fan, but do you really think they shut down for months, tried to get the cases down to zero, then just suddenly let everyone out even though they knew the numbers were wrong? That makes no sense.

The only way we are only having 90k deaths is if we stayed in lockdown for the next 12-15 months. That isn't going to happen.
