What are each of your own predictions on covid19?
2 weeks ago, CNBC issued a report stating that they thought that daily new cases and daily new deaths from COVID19 were going to begin falling within the next couple of weeks. Now, on Aug 6, I'm reading all these brand new projections on several different sites stating that daily new cases/deaths will not only keep climbing, but will keep accelerating their climbing rate. They're predicting that the number of daily new cases and deaths may be up to 4 times higher than it is now by December of this year.
What exactly has changed in the past 2 weeks to be suddenly predicting a totally reverse situation from then? I'll guess but I don't know how accurate my guess is, 2 weeks ago, many people were preparing for mamy more shutdowns again. Then a few days later I recall reading how many of these new shutdowns will no longer happen due to the fear of the outcome of our economy. It really honestly makes sense if that's the reason for the 180 in our future projections.
However, if new COVID19 cases and deaths continue to multiply in the dramatic way they're now predicting, then there will eventually not be enough people around anymore or well enough to work and keep the economy afloat. So what's to do?
Also, how accurate do some of you feel the new COVID19 projections are? How do you feel in your opinion things will turn out between now and the end of 2020? Please comment on any of the above paragraphs.
And check the box below on what you think the number of new daily cases and deaths will be by the end of the year compared to today.
