The IHME (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 IHME 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.

As of Wednesday there were over 200,000 confirmed Coronavirus cases in the US and approximately 4,400 deaths.
Top White House officials scaled back their predictions and said between 100,000 and 200,000 Americans are projected to die from the Coronavirus.
This is down from the 1.7 million American deaths predicted by a key UK scientist which sent the entire country into panic mode.
Millions and millions of Americans are going to lose their jobs, their homes and their savings.
These so-called “experts” owe the American public an explanation and not just ever-changing models to terrify the masses.
