Is that the latest panic porn estimate that'll be wrong as well?
Michael Osterholm said on August 11 that we were going to have 'an explosion' of cases in September that will far surpass what we saw after Memorial Day. Strangely, we have not.
And while the media is panic porning us with claims of 'big spike in the last week', the reality is that it was only due to a dip in reporting around the Labor Day holiday. If you straight line from a week before a week after, the seven day trend line of cases and deaths is down, not up. It's decline has stalled, but it's not going up yet.
But carry on. 350,000? Why not go with 500,000. With the 250,000 people that got Covid due to Sturgis :rolleyes, we could easily hit 750,000 by inauguration day. It's the new liberal math.
