Univ. of Washington researchers predict 80,000 COVID-19 deaths in U.S. by July

The problem is that shortages of hospital beds and medical supplies are projected to boost the death toll nevertheless.
As of today, Washington state’s cumulative COVID-19 death toll is 147.
The global death toll has risen above 23,000, with 523,000 confirmed cases worldwide.
For example, the death toll projection of 81,114 has a 95% confidence interval of 7,977 to 251,059 deaths.
