And I didn't use NY as a statistic because it is an extreme case.

1 in 5 may have been infected by COVID already... That means 1,680,000 of people in NY may already of had COVID.... now if we take that into consideration,we would have to take the Southern, Eastern, and Western states and round out about 1/5th of their population of having COVID without being tested, which I have no issue doing, but it still doesn't increase the death tolls...
But we have to come to an agreement that 1/5 of the country already has COVID tested or not... and that the numbers we have now are a minimum count.
Is NY an extreme case you don't want to use as a statistic because it's an extreme case or is NY something to be used as a model to apply to the rest of the US?
Just because I didn't use it, doesn't mean I didn't research it... I didn't use it because it is an extreme case, but if we are to reduce it to a level that is more akin to what we are to see around the rest of the US, we can make educated predictions. If we use NY as an extreme case, that would be the high end of infection for the US, but that is why still think the infection rate is low nationwide, it should be between two to three times what it is today.
The death rate regretfully is also higher than it should be, because there is money allotted to COVID deaths and federal support.
Why do you think the CDC is verifying death rates for accuracy? It's not just a statistic...
