US Coronavirus Infections & Deaths Trend Trajectory - How Bad Will it Get?

Politics / Pandemic Apr 02, 2020 - 06:41 PM GMT

The only adult in the White House Dr Fauci has started stating what sort of death toll to expect for the Untied States over the coming months of between 100,000 to 200,000 deaths as a consequence of the Coronavirus pandemic.

Trump implemented the Defence Production act mobilising US industry into producing tens of thousands of ventilators, which whilst good is however TOO LATE as the actions the US is taking today should have been taken a month ago!

How long is it going to take for these ventilators to appears? 1 month? 2 months? Probably 3 months! Where 1 Month is TOO LATE! The US needs tens of thousands of ventilators THIS WEEK! That and the medical staff to operate them.

On the plus side the US does have several floating hospitals that can house thousands of patients, and New York city and state governments appear to have gotten the message and are scrambling to bring their ballistic pandemic trend trajectory under control.

Which brings us to my trend forecast (US and UK Coronavirus Pandemic Projections and Trend Forecasts to End April 2020) that projected the US trending towards 531,000 tested as infected by the end of April, resulting in 26,550 deaths, as it was hoped that remaining valuable time would not be squandered on political bickering during this national emergency.

The latest data as of 29th March has the US infections going ballistic to 133,000 which is well beyond the forecast trend trajectory of 94,000, where if this deviation persists then would imply 750,000 testing positive by the end of April. Whilst the number of deaths is also running well ahead of forecast at 2363 vs 1646 that implies to expect 38,000 deaths by the end of April.

So the US has WASTED PRECIOUS TIME on political bickering, back and forth stupidity all whilst the virus has raged on. This is going to inflict even more economic damage and cost thousands more lives as it appears the US is slow to fully woke up yet to what is about to come to pass.
