If the White House's model is projecting 3000 deaths per day by early June, the death projections just don't add up to 130,000.

Today there are about 70,000 U.S. Covid-19 deaths. Assuming the death total today is 2000 and it increases exactly incrementally to 3000 by Jun 1..
... on June 1, there will be 139,536 deaths. If that's the peak, and then it decreased back to 2000 by June 29, on that day there would be a cumulative death total of 209,036 ...
... If the curve is symmetrical, we'd have 70,000 more deaths after that - for a total of about 279,036 deaths by the end of the summer.

It would be really nice right now to have leadership we could trust to not lie to us.
