3,000 Daily COVID-19 Deaths in US By <br />June 1, Government Report Predicts The draft report was authored by <br />associate professor Justin Lesser at <br />Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. In addition to the staggering <br />prediction of daily deaths, the report <br />predicts a surge of close to 200,000 <br />COVID-19 cases per day by June 1. The author has described <br />the report as an "FYI" <br />of work in progress, saying, <br />“it was not in any way intended to be a forecast.” Both the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) <br />and the White House have disclaimed the report. But the report bares the <br />official logo of the CDC, Homeland Security <br />and the departments of Health and Human Services. According to Lesser, <br />while the numbers of his report are high, <br />100,000 new cases daily are possible by the end of May with the early reopening of states. Justin Lessler, JHU, via 'The Washington Post' 'The Washington Post' <br />reports that a senior White House <br />official said the report will not change <br />White House plans for reopening of the U.S.
