Useful tool for COVID projections

From the site:

"You can use the visualization tool to compare the IHME's projections for individual states. The size of the waves and severity of shortfalls are a function, in part, of how early each state started to mandate social distancing. Murray says the models will be updated with new data every Monday."

1. The idea that the total deaths from this will be 80,000 is ridiculous.

This site keeps popping up here, but I strongly suspect this group is working with right wing sources who want to blue sky the outcomes.

2. I was going to basically say the same thing

I think the projections are extremely optimistic.

Just looking at the rate of growth in the number of new infections reported, I don’t see any indicator that it is slowing down or leveling off. We are still seeing exponential growth.

Without adequate testing, we don’t even know what the real numbers are.

3. I should have researched it

I just pulled it off twitter and posted it, but now that I look further, I think you might be right.
