      Seems like that's a coincidence, as their model had the bulk of the deaths occur at once and then taper off completely by august at 153,000 total. Whereas in reality, deaths are still constantly pouring in.

        Yeah, the problem with mapping to a curve is it assumes a downturn

          I mean eventually there will be a downturn in deaths, there are only so many people in the USA that can get the virus!

              Well then there are only so many people in the US that can actually die, so all those "death to america" prayers will have been heard!

          I've been following that site since it launched, and my gut tells me it's worst case is optimistic
