Today, USA deaths stand at 90,980. It's grusome, but I have to take some street cred for my prediction last month of around 88,000 COVID-19 deaths by mid-May. Better than Dr. Fauci who was way off at 60,000 (lowered from 100,000 - 200,000) by Aug 4.
Here's where it gets difficult because we do not know whether COVID-19 is still increasing in the US or trending down like the European countries except for UK. I think Russia is still trending up. Any other countries?
My estimate (assuming we are still trending up and 3.4% death rate) is a whopping 309,332 by June 15th.
The good news is we are beginning to relax shelter in place, so it may have worked and we are trending down now. It's unfortunate, but we do not have accurate testing information. I finally get tested this Thursday lol. I don't know if it's a case of better late than never.
