* A model unveiled by the White House on Tuesday estimates that between 60,000 and 300,000 Americans will die of Covid by mid-March
* If the most grim predictions are met, the U.S. will eclipse one million overall Covid deaths in the coming months
* The projection comes despite data that the Omicron variant, which makes up more than 99% of cases, is 91% less lethal than Delta
* Experts fear the massive growth in cases will cause deaths to increase even though the risk of the new variant is fairly low
While it is starting to appear that the Omicron COVID-19 wave could be nearing its end, one model projects a grim future ahead for the United States, modeling that 58,000 to 305,000 more Americans will succumb to the virus over the next two months.
Projections shared during a White House briefing Tuesday estimate that between up to 305,000 Americans could die from Covid between now and when the wave is expected to subside by mid-March.

If we are lucky one of them will be a fat fuck with diabetes, who hides behind a computer screen. Then we won't hear them whine on national tv.
I know someone who had been obese and was diabetic. They went on a diet and are now vegan. Really nice person. They are vegan but not preachy. Their diet works for them. Otherwise they would be obese, diabetic, possibly hypertensive, fiftyish and male. aKa they would have been COVID bait. Instead they are in good shape.
There is overcount.
There will be people basically doing things right, but they will be unlucky.
There will be senior citizens who are just old and the spring is almost spring or old with many comorbidities. There is nothing you can feasibly do. It is just life.
Then there are the morbid, who are obese. Some are victims of high crime areas courtesy of Democrats and cannot exercise. But others are just fat.
You can get COVID stats sliced and diced by sex and race. Sometimes by age, but this is shared grudgingly.
But have you seen one by comorbidity? Wonder why!
Heartless comment
Fat people are often first mentally sick and then physically from it, maybe something to consider in your empathy model ;)
Secondly there are also genetical and community impact factors like if your dad was fat and even if it wasn't passed on genetically or epigenetically, by eating in front of you, you yourself become more likely to adapt such habit.
Not defending fatties too much, I hope ;)
It is heartless to kill people, any to commit genocide, simply because a percentage of the population is obese.
Community impact factors are called gangs, Democrat district attorneys and Democrat mayors.
Do not forget Democrat governors, who will hunt you down if you waterboard in the ocean. You cannot defy a fascist governor's lockdown!
