    Remember that optimism that we’d “only” have 60K deaths by August? Very likely we’ll get there before the end of April.😢https://twitter.com/deborahblum/status/1254019277746769922 …

        We are probably at 60 if they went back and tested February and even Jan “flu” patients.

        Roughly half the deaths, possibly more, in the integral of the backside of that curve. I think only the scientific advisors realize that, in this regime

        The variety of ways covid19 attacks the body is frightening. Morbidly shouldn’t be underestimated either. Strokes & widespread clotting in young adults https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2020/04/22/coronavirus-blood-clots/ …

        I would not be surprised if the death toll is 500,000 before this pandemic is over. The current numbers 51,000 are not accurate: there are a lot of deaths that are not being counted as covid-19 related for political purposes.
