CDC projects 3,000 Americans will die daily from coronavirus in June

Internal Trump administration projections estimate that about 3,000 Americans will die from the coronavirus every day by June 1, according to CDC documents obtained by the New York Times.

The increased estimates come as states have eased restrictions and after a weekend many Americans spent outside at protests or enjoying spring days in the park. Florida, Colorado, Indiana, Nebraska, South Carolina and West Virginia, among others, moved to loosen restrictions in an attempt to revive a sputtering economy and calm restless residents.

But the projections make clear that these reopenings come with fatal risks.

    1. @Mister Tibbs》Skank is what I live for, bro! Just comin’ from the other side of the tracks…

    2. Hongo Bongo you can’t catch death from cigarettes. It’s something you choose – your risk. A virus is totally different. US is now the only country who can’t get this under control. Well, apart from crazy Sweden (double the deaths per capita to Denmark next door) and Brazil (another incompetent president, disaster looming). Get yourself educated. Wean yourself off Fox.

  1. 9/11 was a gut punch as I was leaving high school, 2008 financial collapse was a fiinancial gut punch. housing costs are astronomical, student debt is crippling. now this Covid-19 situation which is like a gut punch every single day. i’m an older millennial and I’ve done everything I could to get ahead and despite making numerous sacrifices (STEM degree, worked since 16, saved some money, missed numerous social events working fulltime and going to college fulltime, paid my way without a single cent from familly or parents, etc.), i don’t see how i can afford a family or afford to buy a home. Is history repeating itself? Am I part of a new lost generation?

    1. Alanna Ream I completely agreed with you. Try to be positive and grateful of all the things you have accomplished by yourself 💪

    2. Mark Youneva come on man. Don’t let CNN scare you every day. The world is still turning, and you’ll be able to buy a house 3 months after the world gets back to normal.

    1. @1515cando Oh stop grouping every conservative in the same bundle. Not all are wanting to open prematurely.

    2. @1515cando can you Looney tunes have a little shame, and at least pretend like you don’t wish death on everyone who disagrees with you?

    3. I pray your comment is sarcastic.
      It’s folly to ever see any President as anything more than a puppet. It is also folly to take any mainstream media outlet seriously. Mainstream media is best used as tool to see how the masses are being divided, distracted, and programmed.

    1. Nonya Busi prolly heart disease, or rapid deterioration of the brain
      Duh.
      Or a car crash. Prolly heart disease tho

    1. @I love tech and neither is your definition. Of those infected (x) will die. not the whole population. those infected. and of those infected it has ranged from 2-10% mortality depending on the area. and of those almost all would have been ppl to die from pneumonia or some other common killer of geriatrics. we are doing all this to protect grandma in the nursing home who has been bed confined from her stroke 10 years ago and catches pneumonia easily now and cant get rid of it entirely. that’s the majority of the at risk population we are talking about.

    2. @Demetri jackson I will show her your post. Don’t worry, we read/hear the reports but we also do our own research because we know not everything stated is accurate. Sorry forgot to add that you have to remember she sees it all around her every day in various degrees. Some patients not to bad and some on their death beds. Not a pretty sight.

    3. @Demetri jackson Sweden is undertaking strict social distancing, and is far less dense than the population centers of the US. Third world nations are doing the same, and do not have developed healthcare and reporting agencies to maintain accurate counts. We can clearly see the impact of the virus when allowed to spread unabated in Iran

    4. @ElGeetaro8929 the cruise ships had five deaths for 3000+ passenger. And that’s a perfectly controlled environment.

    5. @I love tech 5/3000=0.0016. not really sure what your point was anyways. i hope its not to say that the mortality rate empirically stands at 0.0016. its been pretty steady at about 2% of those infected with some spikes up 10% when you start looking at more local data and of those that died most had comorbidities. and you also need the number of ppl testing positive on the boat not the number of ppl on the boat. did they all test positive,? cuz i cant find that number any where. i also think you might be confused in thinking that i believe this to be a high number. its not to me personally but i also think you might be a little slow.

    1. @Lee Fastenau Just one problem with your statement. These possible additional deaths will be on top of the thousands that die every day.

    1. I hope this is all just a test by the aliens to weed out the dummies of the world so they can just leave their stupid asses here and take the rest of us to a better place.

    2. The only reason aliens would invade is if they’re a society of assholes. There’s nothing on earth that they can’t get easily anywhere else. Space is full of recourses for aliens that have mastered interstellar travel.

    1. Sadly many people don’t see that as a problem only because they haven’t had the virus or haven’t had the ill-effects like others. 🙁

    2. @David Murphy Glad to hear that. Hopefully others will be the same although some people are reporting lingering effects.

    1. @Viceroy Bear It’s science shithead. Face it. We’ve decided that the weak and infirm are expendable. It’s not a lie and it didn’t have to be this way. Go screw yourself.

    2. nailed it! fear pushing , sensationalist, ratings seeking , parasitic , fact spinner, lying , opinion based propaganda,, our modern “corporate” news

    3. I hate how the packaged product is designed to get us used to a Chinese-style, totalitarian government.

  2. THEM(you guys know who): “its just a flu”
    US:no it not.
    THEM: “Then its not summer”

    1. Literally the most pathetic news source ever. Such a low level group of actors that call themselves journalists. They report on nothing but negativity and Trump and want americans to use the government as their source of income and food stamps!! Who the F*** wants to live like that??? Disgraceful.

    2. A lot of people are going to die, you just may or may not be one of them, does this make you feel better?

  3. Every estimate has been wrong so far so why would this one be any different. Keep your distance from others and go about your life.

    1. But then you can’t touch stuff, and the virus droplets hang in the air, so even if you keep your distance, you are breathing in possible contaminants.

  4. yes lets belive a “news oulet” that has been cought in lie after lie and loves to push there own agenda. it not called the COMMUNIST NEWS NETWORK got nothing.

    1. Maybe if they all get sick with STD’s and die they could all be put in the same mass grave.

    2. As much as I despise Xi N N, CDC did say they estimate 3k daily death’s by June. Trump’s initial 200K prediction may actually be the more accurate one. We still don’t know how many died before we started testing for Covid, we may actually be close to 90-100k already. At the end of January we had 15 million flu cases and 8200 deaths.. Virus has been around since December at the least, some say November. Testing didn’t really start until late February and only a few hundred tests were given at that time. Didn’t really pick up until mid March.

  5. Guy dies in a fatal car crash and he had covid19…. “Let’s add him to the Covid death toll!”
