Pls read the following we borrowed (snitched) from… https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article/Trump-cheers-on-governors-as-they-ignore-White-15246461.php
"There are reopening scenarios
where it could get out of control very quickly," said Justin Lessler, an
associate professor of epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of
Public Health, who created the model.
The Bloomberg school in a statement
called the report a "preliminary" analysis that should not be used as
a forecast.
The White House downplayed the
figures on Monday, saying they had not yet been vetted.
"This data is not reflective of
any of the modeling done by the task force, or data that the task force has
analyzed," White House spokesman Judd Deere said in a statement.
White House officials have been
relying on other models to make decisions on reopening, including one from the
University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation and a
"cubic model" prepared by Trump adviser and economist Kevin Hassett
and the Council of Economic Advisers.
People with knowledge of the
"cubic model" say it shows deaths dropping precipitously in May - and
plummeting to zero by May 15, where they stay throughout the summer.
Two people with knowledge of the
White House task-force discussions said that they had not seen the draft
government report, but that they were both fearful cases could rise with many of
the states reopening.
The IHME model is now estimating that
the United States will see nearly 135,000 deaths by August 1. That number is
significantly higher than its estimate on April 17 - 60,308.
IHME's new higher projections
"reflect the effect of premature relaxation of restrictions," said
its creator, Christopher Murray. "In this era where those mandates being
relaxed, people should be aware of the risk of infection is still there."
Relax folks – take it easy – separate a tad (two or three
yards) from others – enjoy each other – and let each know how much you care for and
love them and how much they mean to you…
