Remember how there were hundreds of thousands of coronavirus deaths projected in the United States alone? Death projections that were used to strip away our freedoms almost daily. You know, the whole freedom for safety exchange that many people began begging for? Yeah, well that projection is proving to be more and more bogus.
Once AGAIN the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) model, which has been cited by the White House Coronavirus Task Force, has lowered its coronavirus death projections. So now, the estimated deaths will be about 60,415.
Breitbart reports:
The IHME model has come under withering criticism for vastly overstatingprojections of regular and ICU hospital beds needed, but its death projections to date have closely tracked with actual data.
Wednesday’s dramatic reverse in the model’s projection of U.S. deaths was made without a press release from IHME explaining the reasons for the reduction. It marks the second reduction in the model’s U.S. deaths projections since April 1, when it forecast 93,765 U.S. fatalities.
On April 5, the death projections were lowered to 81,766.
“Our estimates assume statewide social distancing measures are continuing in states where they have already been enacted, and for those states without such measures in place, it is assumed they will be will be in place within seven days,” IHME director Christopher Murray said last week.
“If social distancing measures are relaxed or not implemented, the U.S. will see greater death tolls, the death peak will be later, the burden on hospitals will be much greater, and the economic costs will continue to grow,” he continued.
As Breitbart News reported, the IHME model has a serious flaw when it comes to the way it projects hospital bed needs by state during the coronavirus pandemic:
Though the IHME model updates its results with real time actual data for number of COVID-19 cases and number of COVID-19 deaths, it does not update those results with actual regular hospital bed or actual ICU hospital bed data. Instead, the model apparently projects regular hospital bed requirements and ICU bed requirements based on an anticipated mathematical relationship between actual COVID-19 cases and COVID-19 deaths with hospital bed requirements.
Let's get the country opened back up and people back to work! No more of this sitting at home nonsense!

WATCH: What In The World Is Joe Biden Trying To Say? Can't Complete A Single Sentence
How much more ridiculous can Joe Biden get?!
This man is a complete waste of a Democratic candidate. Some of the things he says are just so bizarre, and beyond that, some of the things he says are just completely impossible to understand what message he's trying to convey.
Conservative News Reporter Booted from White House Briefing
We've been seeing it for years now; liberal news outlets sending their "journalists" to talk trash to President Trump during press conferences. They're not exactly known for their journalism skills and truthfulness.
We've even seen some liberal reporters kicked out of pressers for things they've said or done, but this time it actually happened to a conservative reporter from one of the most reputable conservative news outlets.
UNBELIEVABLE! Guess Who Was Just Released From Prison to Protect Him From Coronavirus
A man who has been locked away behind bars for raping a child is being released after a Massachusetts Superior Court Judge decided that there was too much of a risk of him catching the coronavirus and they want to make sure he's safe.
This makes absolutely no sense to me. Why would they let someone out of jail - a place where they are safer from the virus than elsewhere - to keep him safe from catching the virus. It's a disease transmitted by people, if released from prison, he's just going to be around more people who have been around more people as well and therefore his odds of getting the virus is far greater.
Woman Arrested and Thrown In Jail Cell with Dozens of Women During Pandemic for Non-Crime
A New York City woman and her boyfriend were both arrested this previous weekend for the biggest crime of our time, "failing to maintain social distancing'.
I get it, we're supposed to keep apart from one another, but at this point it's not a crime, instead this is martial law where they can decide on a whim what to label as a crime.
