The 200,000 deaths sounds like a best case scenario.
Given current death stand at over 112,000 this sadly seems a realistic estimate. |

I don't disagree with anything that's being said here. One thing though... few States here in the U.S. have "caught fire". With more to come, I have to wonder if Harvard and we are low-balling. |

Time for a bump....to see where things are a month later. The death rate has been quite low and it was slowy sinking, so I was wondering if that sad mile-stone would be reached, or if it would only be at the end of September. Currently the CDC reported figure is 134,572 deaths (as of 12th July). 65,000 cases to go at 800 deaths a day would be 81 days so around the beginning of October. However, with the recent surge in cases, there is signs that the number of daily deaths from corvid-19 is beginning to rise again, so maybe the mile-stone will be reached early in the month or even in August. |

Keep in mind those numbers will accelerate, Edwin. Just two weeks ago (or was it last week, I'm losing track) the projection was 200,000 dead by November. This new projection skips October. |

I'm in rural Idaho. It's starting to take off here. Business next to the one my wife works in had all workers sick yesterday with symptoms. Of course they aren't going to get tested. It's laughable really. |

Just saw a facebook post that is making the rounds...the girl in it is anti-mask...so instead of wearing a mask in Washington State where it is mandated, she drives across the line to Idaho - where it is not, to do her shopping. |

The forecast from June of 200,000 deaths being reached during September seem to be on track. Given current rates my guess is it will occur around the middle of the month. I have been pleased to see the death rates have not risen with the case rates so I was wondering if there would be fewer than 300,000 USA deaths from Corvid by the end of the year, when I saw this on the BBC Live News.
Maybe I have been too optimistic! |

Hope springs eternal that you're estimate is right, Edwin. But I fear that it will be closer to UofW estimate. But even then I have hope that this estimate is lower than expected because of the Northeast's handling of the virus and there will not be the same high death totals in the northeast that happened in the first four or five months of this year. |

Josh posted this link: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/first-covid-19-global-forecast-ihme-projects-three-quarters-of-a-million-lives-could-be-saved-by-january-1-301124287.html which gives more details of the estimate. The 410,000 deaths by 1st January 2010, is the "Most Likely" (estimated range of 347,551–515,272) . The best case (for the USA) is 288,381 (range of 257,286–327,775) The worst case is 620,029 (range of 463,361–874,649) As will all looking into the future things get very murky with a wide range of possibilities. But the forecasts in the link are all much worse than I was thinking things would be given how the summer has gone. I suspect that we have not yet seen the worst effects of opening up society. |

Is anyone really surprised at 200 000 + dead? the USA's administrations approach to this pandemic has been abysmal....... RE JacksDad's signature...... "Buy it cheap. Stack it deep" . Missing you JD hope you and yours are OK.... Stay safe all π·π |

Nice, thanks! At the very beginning of this thing (mid Feb 2020), I calculated 2 million US deaths using the paucity of data available from China for incubation period, case fatality rate etc. A bit later on, I estimated 1 million eventual deaths in the US since we now have a bit of herd immunity ongoing and reinfection doesn't appear likely. I'll stick with 1 million total US deaths. 500,000 dead by the end of 2020 in the USA seems very possible to me, especially since the US population appears very fatigued with the discipline it takes to self-isolate and wear masks. Beachs were very crowded in the US this Labor Day holiday, so we'll have another spike in a few weeks. Universities are having a hellish time controlling COVID-19 among students. We have a long way to go, friends. Be safe, all. |

Back on 10th June Carbon20 posted a link to a Reuters article stating
According to https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries this sad milestone was reached on 15th September 2020, when the different authorities in the USA has reported a total of 200,199 deaths. Kudos to Ashish Jha, the head of Harvard’s Global Health Institute, for such an accurate forecast.
ps. the next forecast to check up on in the CDC forecast for October 3rd 2020. See this thread https://www.avianflutalk.com/cdc-projects-covid-deaths-by-october-3rd_topic43289.html?KW=October+CDC |

That 410 000 deaths, in the USA, by the 1st January 2021 was a "most likely" case, but it would mean an average of 2,000 deaths a day between now and then, so on current rates it looks most unlikely. However, I will be watching to see if the death rates of the top countries start to "explode" in October or November as the 2nd or 3rd waves begin to bite. The same model posted a "Best Case" of 288,381 (range 257,286-327,775), and the USA is on track for that if recent data holds at the same level for the next two months. |

Yes there are rallies and riots that have tons of people and no one wearing masks at the rallies and about half at the riots. Plus all the college kids are having huge parties. Memorial day parties. Its going to explode this winter. Sad. |
