Some people think we’ve hit “the peak” of coronavirus deaths in the United States, even the world. Ultimately, that might not necessarily be the case – despite states beginning to reopen.

Apparently, upwards of 3,000 Americans may die daily from COVID-19 through June 1.

Dang.

From The Hill:

The Trump administration is projecting that the United States could see up to 3,000 deaths per day from the coronavirus by June 1, a person familiar with internal documents confirmed to The Hill on Monday.

Data and modeling from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show that the federal government is expecting the number of cases and deaths associated with the pandemic to continue mounting, even as President Trump and other officials push for states to lift restrictions meant to slow the spread of the virus in favor of reopening businesses.

The New York Times, which was the first to report on the projections, posted the documents, which show the CDC and Federal Emergency Management Agency forecast a steady increase in the number of new cases per day.
