LOL at the stupidity of thermometer scanners to stop virus spread. I wonder if Jared has a stake in a company selling them?

Are there betting odds available on what the U.S. case and death tolls are gonna be? I'm just about ready to throw down a big bet on whatever the "it's going be worse than it has been yet" option is.

Will be interesting to see how IHME is going to factor "CDC guidelines being ignored" into its new projections and how the numbers in it change as a result!

POTUS said in last 24 hours he thought 95,000 deaths.
I had to do a double take on the CNN total at the time as it was already at 78K.   Worldometers is closing in on 80K for the USA.

Given the level of denial in soon-to-be hot spots I would guess USA will be at 110,000 by end of May.   
The tally beyond ~3 weeks from now would depend on what choices Governors take once they see hospitalizations increasing.

I imagine it will be 350k to 450k by the first Tuesday in November.
