A revised mortality model predicts coronavirus deaths in the U.S. will nearly double to 135,000 through August as states continue to ease social distancing restrictions, researchers said Monday.

Great. Thanks China you piece of shit motherfuckers. Now the free world has to deal with your ****-up.
China delayed the response?
China spent 2 months telling us it wasn't a big deal?
China told their faithful followers it was a hoax?
China ignored warnings for months?
China failed to stock up on PPE?
China refused to use the WHO's test and insisted on developing their own which was faulty and took weeks to fix? China failed to issue a coordinated response to the crisis? China waited to long to shut down the states?
China still hasn't managed to test significant numbers of the population?
China is opening up the states too early?
China is ignoring the advice of the medical experts?
China put their useless ******* son in law in charge of shit?
Was all of that China?
Those bastards?
Its pointless to argue with hyper partisans like you
trump did a good job of responding to the chinese disease
now its time to return to work, and play, and worship
1. He acted too late. Or didn't act soon enough and now America has the most deaths from Corona. We are number one in the world again. LOL.
2. He suggested injecting bleach into the body and/or ultriviolet light. That news conference proved he does not have what it takes to be president.
3. He dismantled the team Obama put together that dealt with infectious diseases.
What more proof do you need that Republicans shouldn't run the government because they don't believe in government.
And he held up those checks insisting his name be put on the checks. What a ******* asshole.
He did not act too late
there had been no deaths in january when trump had already unleashed dr fauci the virus fighter on the problem
but the states were unprepared and so was fauci
After the first alarms sounded in early January that an outbreak of a novel
coronavirus in China might ignite a global pandemic, the Trump administration squandered nearly two months that could have been used to bolster the federal
stockpile of critically needed medical supplies and equipment.
Now,
three months into the crisis, that stockpile is nearly drained just as the numbers of patients needing critical care is surging. Some state and local officials report receiving broken ventilators and decade-old
dry-rotted masks.
As early as mid-January, U.S. officials could see that hospitals in China’s Hubei province were overwhelmed with infected patients, with many left dependent on ventilator machines to breathe. Italy soon followed, with hospitals scrambling for doctors, beds and equipment.
HHS did not respond to questions about why federal officials waited to order medical supplies until stocks were running critically low. But President Donald Trump has asserted that the federal government should take a back seat to states when it comes to dealing with the pandemic.
When an AP reporter attempted to ask Trump about the issue on Sunday, the president cut off the question.
“FEMA, the military, what they’ve done is a miracle,” Trump said with a flash of anger. “What they’ve done is a miracle in getting all of this stuff. What they have done for states is incredible.”
Trump then ended the briefing and walked off the podium.
Trump and his appointees have urged state and local governments, and hospitals, to buy their own masks and breathing machines, saying requests to the dwindling national stockpile should be a last resort.
“The notion of the federal stockpile was it’s supposed to be our stockpile,” Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law and adviser, said at a White House briefing Thursday. “It’s not supposed to be state stockpiles that they then use.”
Experts in emergency preparedness and response have expressed dismay at such statements, saying the federal government must take the lead in ensuring medical supplies are available and distributed where they are needed most.
