@chrislhayes There's also a lot of ambiguity about which deaths we're counting. IHME is projecting something rather specific: deaths in the 1st wave **assuming** we maintain relatively good social distancing. — PolitiTweet.org

Yeah, that doesn't quite hold up. Nobody knows (and nobody ever knew) exactly how many deaths there will be and the room for uncertainty remains wide, i.e. anywhere from mid-5-figures to low 7 figures. — PolitiTweet.org

The most cynical interpretation of all this, one I can't quite bring myself to accept, is they rolled out the model… https://t.co/5yrBcdMJ9l

@chrislhayes If you're accounting for the chance of multiple waves, the totals could be a lot higher. Same if you account for the possibility of social distancing being relaxed. — PolitiTweet.org
