Model projects nearly 3 million deaths in the U.S. over the next 12 months!

It occurred to me after writing this post about the chart that will give us a truer sense of the impact COVID-19 has on deaths in the U.S., that I missed the chance to write a headline in the same alarming, sensationalist fashion as the media.

So, here it is.

And, the model this projection is based on is historical averages. The U.S. averages 2.6 to 2.9 million deaths, annually. I predict that will continue.

I hereby nominate myself for the Pulitzer for this groundbreaking reporting.
