By Cristina Laila
It Predicted 121,000 Americans Hospitalized by Yesterday; Actual Number?… 31,142
The IMHE (Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation) model for the Coronavirus the White House is relying on is complete garbage.
The US economy has been virtually shut down, unemployment spiked and small businesses are on the verge of shuttering based on faulty projections.
The IMHE model is using New York and New Jersey data and applying it to the rest of the US.
It predicted that over 121,000 Americans would be hospitalized yesterday (Wednesday) over the Coronavirus, Sean Davis of The Federalist said.
The actual number? 31,142.
