Reopening states will cause 233,000 more people to die from coronavirus, according to Wharton model

According to the Penn Wharton Budget Model (PWBM), reopening states will result in an additional 233,000 deaths from the virus — even if states don’t reopen at all and with social distancing rules in place. This means that if the states were to reopen, 350,000 people in total would die from coronavirus by the end of June, the study found.

That doesn’t make sense to me. 233,000 more will die if we reopen,  or even if we don’t reopen and keep social distancing 233,000 will still die.
So 233,000 either way? Doesn’t sound like it’s the result of reopening then. They are contradicting their title by saying the same number will die if we reopen or not.

Read the whole article.

I did. It’s poorly written at best, to me looks like click bait to contradict your title within the first 2 paragraphs. 

That is the only mention of total deaths, it talks about a couple of states and also mentions a partial reopen will kill 46,000, a smaller number than if we stayed closed. So still doesn’t make sense.

Heck what’s a few thousand difference 100 k or 75 k or 200k they are just numbers at this point ,America’s ready for the final tally what ever that number might be after all we are #1 no?

I tell people this story now whenever they want to reopen things or that it's a conspiracy or what have you.

We buried my Aunt at St Josephs cemetery here in Queens last week and one thing I noticed immediately was all the open graves and how many caskets that were being moved around, the line of Hearse's in the entrance.

Never in my life have I seen a cemetery this busy before.  It was eerie to see that many graves dug open...

Just because you aren't experiencing what we are here in NY doesn't mean that it's not serious.

I understand that the country is breaking and I don't have an answer for people but there is most definitely bad shit happening and we are in lock down for a reason.

Who said that? I was just pointing out the title of the article said 233,000 more will die if we reopen, but then reading the article it says 233,000 will die if we stay closed and keep social distancing, so either way apparently. Does that title not seem misleading to you? All I was saying, not sure where you came up with  what’s a few thousand more and all just numbers.
Apparently we can’t scrutinize the media for misleading articles anymore without being accusing of not caring if tens of thousands die.

Numbers are going up every day here in Virginia..I don't see this getting better yet. Opening up is not the answer right now..I know its because more testing but still not counting the folks not tested either. We had a case last week where I work and are  off for 2 weeks.

Is this the start of total chaos at these protests or at stores demanding masks be worn , I hope they catch and prosecute to the max who ever shot this man and will the Baffoon still praise these idiot Americans?

The argument about wearing masks happens here in NY too.  

Not really not where I shop yesterday was in Lowes every single customer & employee was wearing a mask , so we where have you seen people protesting here about forcing for everything to open back up? I haven’t seen any, I know this wasn’t a protest but usually all it takes is the 1st shot to start a wave of violence..

Crazy.

Is it the math or the reading you're having trouble with? Both are hard.
