- exom 6y agoAccording to covid19-projections.com, the US will have 195k deaths by August 4th. It is very likely that the US will hit 200K deaths much sooner than the end of 2021. I do not have data regarding deaths due to PPE delays and testing, but I do agree that that would be an important figure to include.

(https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/20/us/coronavirus-distancing-deaths.html https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/20/us/coronavirus-distancing...) One new study claims a large amount, 36k - 54k deaths for 1 week and 2 week better responses, respectively, could have been prevented, as of early May.
