The US compared with the rest of the world, May 1st, #COVID19
8 times as many expected confirmed cases
6.5 times as many expected deaths
based on population

The pathetic performance of the US vs ROW is at odds w/ @POTUS statements that "we're doing a spectacular job."
With each day the US is growing its global proportion of death toll (now 33%) ft.com/coronavirus-la… @FT
And yet there is still no national plan.

One of, if not the best performing model for #COVID19 in the US, by @youyanggu, predicts 170,000 deaths (98-293 range) by August, rather than @IHME_UW which revised to 72,500 by August, yesterday (which will be exceeded next week).
The link for @youyanggu's model and work, which has been remarkably on target for #COVID19 throughout covid19-projections.com
We'll cross 80,000 US deaths by May 10th, according to @youyanggu's projection. And that even assumes descending from the ~2,000/day plateau which we've be on throughout April.
