8. Excerpts Related Specifically to Increase

Predictions for cumulative deaths. At the national level, projected cumulative COVID-19 deaths could reach 68,841 (estimate range of 30,188 to 175,965) across states during the epidemic’s first wave. Today’s release is somewhat higher than the average US predictions for cumulative COVID-19 deaths published on April 10 (61,545, with an estimate range of 26,487 to 155,315), though the uncertainty intervals overlap considerably. This change is at least partially driven by higher cumulative estimates for Massachusetts and New York, reflecting the latest COVID-19 death data that are publicly available.
Based on the latest data and current model, the following states could have the highest cumulative COVID-19 death tolls through the epidemic’s first wave:

10. It's Also 5.6...

...swine flu epidemics. You know the virus that the RWNJs used as a talking point when CV was just erupting.
They were sure it was nothing compared to that & they just wanted to make DOLTUS look bad.
Pretty stupid talking point.
In about 4 months, we'll be 5.6 swine flus.
Heck of a job, Trumpie.
