Who said anything about 12 months? How's it a steal if it was "no worse than the flu" less than a month ago? How's it a steal if the country's come to a halt to achieve those numbers? Why are you so dumb? https://theweek.com/speedreads/9061...irus-becomes-third-leading-cause-daily-deaths https://covid19.healthdata.org/projections
The first link would be really cool if they bothered to put the Flu in there. Of course, I understand why they wouldn't.

shit just got realer: https://www.npr.org/sections/health...-isnt-saying-about-their-covid-19-projections 5 Key Facts Not Explained In White House COVID-19 Projections States will keep the social distancing rules in place through June 1 By contrast, Trump's presidential guidelines only apply through April 30. The president has indicated that he may extend that date as the situation warrants. But at the briefing Tuesday, officials did not specify how long their modeling assumes social distancing measures would remain in place. Chris Murray, IHME's director, says the modeling team is working on a projection for exactly "what sort of rebound we will see," if social distancing was eased after April 30 instead of June 1. But he says there's no question it would be significant.
It does not care if you are bored or use numbers from God knows where but the projections will get more accurate with more data. I read an interesting article about why it is generation Xers take this pandemic far more seriously than boomers and millenials, we have reckless people to care for both older and younger. The sandwich generation.. Feels quite true.
