honestly looking at the curves in cases pretty much everywhere, i think we might see deaths in the hundreds of thousands and not millions in the US now. im not gonna make any Absolute Predictions though.

that would require very draconic lockdowns right now, followed by active screening of the entire population and contact tracing for people who are found positive

there's no way in hell we'll ever be able to do the former while russian disinfo is blasting out of OANN and fox news and twitter and facebook at trump's base, and there's no way we'd ever be able to do the latter that under a trump administration even if they wanted to

I think you're probably right with official death tolls but 1) the lockdown here isn't anything like italy or spain 2) a lot of states still aren't locked down 3) tons of uninsured people

I think we'll hit over 1 million in actual deaths but less than that (750-900k) for official confirmed

nah, even the moderate self-isolation going on right now will prevent that. probably ~500k. still horrific.

moderate self isolation won't stop the disease spreading, it'll spread the curve out, but the tradeoff is that we'll still being moderately self isolating in december

so 100-200k is a conservative estimate (doing all the proper things) of the conservative estimate (2.2 million to 7 million doing nothing)

very cool and good

200k is the laughably, childishly stupid estimate that's basically a dream scenario of "if we were doing absolutely everything right for the last 6 months, this is the best number we could hope for" while what we have actually been doing is one or two steps away from 'absolutely jack poo poo'

the current strategy is to underreport deaths and cases as much as possible and get the chud hivemind out there questioning the numbers that do come out to try to soften the blow to big wet president daddy because that's all that really matters

I guess the administration figures they can sweep 1.8m deaths under the rug and people won't figure out the real death toll until they compare total deaths in 2020 to 2019.

By then it won't matter because November will have come and gone :chaostrump:

lol yea 200k is for if literally during this presser trump announced we were moving to a China style 'if you leave you'll be taken home by cops, every area will have military to enforce things and to help get people what they need' federal level stuff and also M4A was law and nobody has to worry about paying for any treatments they need at all.

Instead we're getting 'the doctors are stealing from us' and 'VERY NASTY GOVERNORS' and prayer, so I'm putting my guess at around 500kish, with an official reported number in the low 400k as our actual best case.
