The University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) model this week increased its projected U.S. coronavirus death toll as a number of states move to reopen businesses.
The projected number of deaths rose from 67,641 a week ago to 74,073, IHME said in a statement on Monday. The new figure is still lower than a projection last month of 90,000 deaths in the U.S. related to coronavirus.
The new IHME estimate now ranges from 56,563 to 130,666 deaths in the U.S.
The institute said that the increase is due to “many states experiencing flatter and thus longer epidemic peaks.” It also said that coronavirus deaths across the country are not falling “very quickly” after their estimated peak. https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/other/494979-model-predicts-higher-death-toll-in-us-amid-states-reopening

“Donald Trump has suggested he is the “hardest working president in history” just days after claiming his press briefings on coronavirus were “not worth the effort” following backlash against his comments about using disinfectant as a Covid-19 treatment.
“The people that know me and know the history of our Country say that I am the hardest working President in history. I don’t know about that, but I am a hard worker and have probably gotten more done in the first 3 1/2 years than any President in history,” Mr Trump said on Sunday.”
