Yeah, we see a similar thing with flu epidemics. An H1N1 epdiemic during the Obama years was blamed for about 3,300 death at the time. Later estimates had a range of projections, but the best guess was over 12,000. Of course, Trump inflated that to 17,000. 1/x.

But Trump didn't apply that same principle to COVID-19 deaths. So if over 60,000 deaths are known to be COVID now, and this is revised upward at a similar rate to H1N1, we may actually be as high as a quarter million U.S. deaths right now. 2/2
