So, the IHME is at it again. Making predictions, scaring people, being wrong. I can't imagine a job in which you can make a prediction that is wrong, make a new prediction, then change that prediction before it has run its course and then do it again. We can't do that in business...."I'm going to sell this number of something by this date" and then before that date change that number. We can't do that with anything in life, but the IHME is special and they do it all the time. Now the prediction is lowered to 5,316 Covid deaths by May 1 and 5,520 by June 1. Here's a suggestion.....STFU! Because after a year of being wrong, you now adjust your predictions to resemble factual trends and you want to take credit for it. If you were in the real business world, you wouldn't last a week.
And of course the media today loves it....anything that is opinion is glorified. It used to be that the news was reporting what happened. Now most article subject lines include the words "possibly", "could", or "may". And most of you stand in line and drink that Kool Aid.
