In June, IHME predicted that the death toll in the U.S. would reach 200,000 by October, which appears to be on track.
[...] IHME previously projected 317,697 deaths by Dec. 1. The model now predicts that the daily death toll could rise to nearly 3,000 per day in December, up from over 800 per day now, according to Hopkins data.
[...] The most likely [IHME] scenario estimates that Covid-19 will kill 410,450 people in the U.S. by Jan. 1. The worst-case scenario, which assumes that restrictions and mask directives will ease, projects up to 620,028 people in the U.S. will die by then and the best-case scenario, which assumes universal masking, predicts that 288,380 people in the U.S. will die from Covid-19 in 2020.
[...] Despite the drop in new cases, the number of deaths caused by Covid-19 everyday in the U.S. has remained high, at nearly 1,000 new deaths per day, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.

Because religious freedom is covered by the first amendment to the constitution, the highest level of protection something can get, defined at federal level and extended to the states?
The democrat governors wanted to torpedo his reelection; IMO he underplayed his hand back in April when the governors told him to fuck off and was missing in action for two months. The governors pressed on and gave their blessings to the riots, and Trump came back on a law and order platform.

It's almost as if he has no plan and is reacting to whatever he happens to see on TV that day.
