The assumptions of the model are explained here, and you will find they are extremely conservative (using R0 value of just 1.82, for example). The model’s predictions are nothing short of apocalyptic … Continue reading ALERT: Pandemic projection model shows 2.16 million deaths in USA by July 4th if nothing done to halt nearly all domestic travel (air, rail and roads)
