Model projects 200k US Covid-19 deaths unless masks are worn

Dr. Christopher Murray, director of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington, explains why a new model has projected that more than 200,000 Americans will die from Covid-19 by November if masks are not universally used.

  1. remember when they projected 60k deaths by Aug back in April and we passed that number like two weeks later? …just sayin.

    1. @Time to get huge! YOU REMEMBER THE KING SAID ENEMIES?
      DJT said “The media is the enemy of free people” 2/24/17. 3/5/2020 it was 250 yrs NEWS4 free people. Not a word was heard about regular people & BOSTON MEDIA.
      SOME SOLDIERS WERE INNOCENT. (John Adams, lawyer). In a court of law.
      Paul Revere scribed some metal about it. I guess not a massacre after all.
      Just FakeNewZ. PG 1 AMERICAN REVOLUTION. They were MURDERERS EVERYWHERE.
      Media. Enemy of kings.

    2. Listen up you fear mongering kooks. In about 2 to 3 weeks COVID19 will be removed from the “epidemic” category according to CDC guidelines. Because, the number of deaths are declining at an exponential rate. WAKE THE HELL UP people. CNN is FAKE NEWS and a propaganda feed.

    3. @xXxholicxXx you are a statistical illiterate kook. Simple math, as the number of cases rise, faster than the death rate, it is only a matter of time before the death ratio falls out of the “epidemic” category. For your syphilis brain rot mind, that means, Covid19 will be in the same “NON-epidemic” category as the Flu, according to CDC guidelines. That will happen in about 2 to 3 weeks because YOUNG people are getting infected and their death rate is almost none existent. SMH

  2. Imagine if the so called Leader of the Free World decided to lead the free world….. wouldn’t that be refreshing 🤔

    2. This is not the free world. We are wage slave workers. Time to Call it what it is and stop pretending that we are free society. We aren’t!

    3. What is far more scary is if you sorry a$$ed Democrats were running the free world. Think about it Corey 10+0, you think you and your buddies could organize a piss up in a brewery??

  3. We are clearly going to be way over that. We are already at 131,000 and as more people get it, it will only increase exponentially.

    1. 145,000 have died from the flu, and we have a vaccine for that! Big dummies you are!

    2. @II nosferatu II If hospitals are overwhelmed by numbers, more people will die and the death rate will rise.

  4. It’s will just go away by April Donald Trump said by why it’s still here, FAKE DEATHS? #EndofDonaldTrump

    1. @Captain Win annnddd there have been like 50k cases discovered a day for a week? so um… no hospitals and everyone is on their own to deal with the virus? Where are the virologists on this issue!!

    2. CNN is avoiding the
      Jeffrey Epstein co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell story because she is about to rat out the Clintons.

  5. Bunker boy: This is the perfect time to repeal the ACA and replace it with…we’ll figure it out later when everyone is dead.

    1. @orion Loses Me thinks you ashould stop listening to propaganda, and do some none-facebook research yourself. Because you are claiming that the numbers the TRUMP admin are putting out wrong, yet believe him when he lies to you.

    2. @Jason A Are you 75? I still don’t know a single person that has had it, and I was never furloughed, it’s crazy.

    3. @The End a ederly killer you moronic imbecile 56 million Americans men women and children with diabetes that are at high risk of hospitalization and or death are not just elderly

  6. You talk about opening schools but what are you going to do when it’s time for the kids to eat lunch?

    1. This is a cause for concern, although there are some possible solutions. Maybe eating outside instead of in the cafeteria. Release kids from the classroom one at a time. Either way let’s open up schools when science says so instead of Trump. Wear a mask and stay home people!

    2. @Sam Carter

      Simon says: wear a mask
      Simon says: hoard toilet paper
      Simon says: stay inside your house
      Simon says: stay inside the circle
      Simon says: stand six feet apart
      Simon says: report your family
      Simon says: get in the box car
      Simon says: get in the oven
      Simon says: game over

  7. The mask resistance will prove Darwin right and thin the dimwits from the herd….and their parents or grandparents.

  8. COVID-19: “I’m so emotional right now. “sniff” I’ve had my eyes on Bolsonaro for some time now. But I cannot take all the credit for this. “sniff sniff”  This would not have been possible, without the willful and pathological ignorance, of Bolsonaro himself. “sniff sniff” I’m Sorry, “sniff” I told myself I wasn’t going to cr…cr…crrrry!!!”😭😭😭

    1. The End the 99.9% recovery is false. Stop listening to trump and actually listen to doctors. Or maybe listening to doctors is too hard for your tiny little brain?

  9. Trump feb 26: it’s like the flu 🤪
    Trump April: it’s Obama’s fault 😫
    Trump today: more tests lead to more cases 😏

    1. @Mo A 2016 wont happen again 🤣😂🤣😂 what a pathetic joke you are…no year repeats, idiot.

    2. @Mo A it was 40,000 American citizens he let back in. Again. Go do some research before you come at me with that bullshit. I destroy liberals for a living. Do better.

  10. It’s not just the masks. Social distancing is just as Important. I can’t believe people are so woolly headed about this. They are so in denial

    1. unless you are participating in a BlackLiesMatter riot – in which case you are good to go

    2. citizenxgen shut up dude. The riots are such a small portion of the protests. Also, a majority of the protestors are wearing masks and trying to be as safe as possible. I’m not saying people should protest, in fact I think we should still all stay home, but have you seen trump rally’s and people in southern states? They’re acting like this virus is over. Those are the people who are gonna keep the infection and death rate high. So shut up and come back when you have a legitimate argument.

    3. There was a protest in my community organized by my community and everyone wore one. And extras were handed out to people on the street nearby

    4. There’s a poster near where I live that said,

      _”Wear a mask AND keep 6 feet apart.”_

      It said AND, not OR. If you just wear a mask or keep 6 feet apart but not both, you’ll be fined!!

  11. I will keep wearing my mask even if others don’t, this virus is lethal and not a hoax. You know who im speaking of! The main one who i believe really has it, and spreading it for photo ops

    1. Demon rat plague spread by libtards…Wear your masks,do what your told..STAY HOME,the government will take care of all your needs…BLM will keep you safe at night….

  12. Just wear a mask, in Southern Oregon it’s common every summer to wear them, 🔥🌲🔥🌲🔥🌲🔥🌲🔥 it’s easy to do and we could help to gain freedom from covid 19.

  13. FYI read the fine print on the back on the mask package, you’re the “Experts” you should know this by now
