The numbers are staggering, to say the least, that the latest prediction of COVID-19 deaths will be 100,000 to 240,000.
I pray we get through this horrible time and can start to live on normally. It's all like a really bad dream. I know there have been many lessons learned on this and I hope we all can carry on with being more hygienic, more homesteader, and more appreciative of those around us.
According to The Daily Mail:
Dr. Tony Fauci warned on Tuesday that Americans should be prepared for 100,000 deaths from the coronavirus.
'The answer is yes - as sobering a number as that is, we should be prepared for it,' he said when asked about the six-figure mark during the daily White House press briefing. 'Is it going to be that much? I hope not and I think the more we push on the mitigation the less likely to be that number but, being realistic, we need to prepare ourselves that is a possibility that that's what we'll see.'
The White House projected 100,000 to 240,000 deaths in the U.S. if current social distancing guidelines are maintained.
President Donald Trump said the prediction was 'sobering' and called efforts to spread the slow of the coronavirus 'a matter of life and death.'
'It's absolutely critical for the American people to follow the guidelines for the next 30 days, it's a matter of life and death, frankly,' the president said.
'I want every American to be prepared for the hard days that lie ahead. We're going through a very tough few weeks. And, hopefully, as the experts have predicted is a lot of us are predicting having studied it so hard, going to start seeing some real light at the end of the tunnel and this is going to be a very painful, a very very painful two weeks,' he noted.
