US coronavirus deaths could hit 300,000 by December 1, but 70,000 lives could be saved if more Americans simply wore masks, a new model predicts.

"It's a profoundly sad number" of projected death, Dr. William Schaffner of Vanderbilt University told CNN on Friday morning."And we can think that 70,000 of those people could be saved if we would all just wear a mask every day every time we leave our front doors.Los Angeles can cut off power and water at properties hosting parties during the pandemic"This virus Is not just going to disappear or vanish.

Early in the outbreak, health experts stressed that older adults were most at risk, but new data from the World Health Organization shows that most cases -- by far -- are among people 25 to 64 years old. The proportion of cases in teens and young adults has gone up six-fold, and in very young children and babies the proportion has increased seven-fold, WHO said.

'a new model predicts' HAHA! these models are BULLSHIT but please keep touting them because you're the Most Trusted Name in Fake News, and that's what we depend on you for.

IHME and British Imperial College COVID-19 modeling have been wrong since day one. Why would we listen to you now?

“Yes, please keep believing that masks are the answer” - COVID-19

JoeBiden said it was 120 million.

The same model than the Greta climate model ....

Vote Blue, vote Joe Biden

China lied and people all over the world died!!

Remember: Trump's the one who taught people not to wear masks. Therefore, how much blood is on his hands?

US citizens have a thick skull and have a huge sense of entitlement, thus the high deaths. No surprise here.

CNN has top notch sources.. they used science to come up with those numbers Science !!

The models have been so spot on so far.

Total conjecture, as expected

Sorry CNN, but you and the rest of the main stream media have politicized mask wearing so this just ain't going to happen.

But many people are as stupid as Trump.

Why would anyone listen to the IHME or British Imperial College Covid_19 models? They have been astronomically wrong since day one. Remember when millions were going to die?

Why don't you just state the FACTS? 🤨

It all magically went away in April! It’s going away we have it under control.

o dear god don’t go to the beach or the mall or the barber or the restaurant or to get an oil change or go on the pontoon...stay home and die

I guess we round up these days?

FakeNews

How many could be saved if the Dems and media stop denying the benefits of hydroxychloroquine for patients who catch the virus early?

And if they learn how to count correctly. If they stop tagging every body that roles into the morgue with a Covid tag we really have about half of the actual count.

As a post said before, WuhanCoronavirus COVID19 was supposed to kill millions, then when that trajectory was halted due to the measures, ABCWorldNews said 300,000 by August, now, it’s 300,000 by December. Protect over 54 and older population:

Lives could be saved if the media wouldn't scare everyone into thinking this virus is going to kill us all.

Come on, CNN. Encourage more 'peaceful' protests...

I don't get it, Trump has urged his supporters to wear masks now, so shouldn't CNN move on to a new anti Trump narrative.. I've heard the he thinks breathing air is a sign of support for him, people holding their heads under water for at least 5 mins don't support him.

When Biden becomes president, the Republicans will be blaming the 300,000 deaths on him and not Trump

Where is the prediction where hydroxychloroquine is featured?

Every model all institutions have used to predict COVID-19 have been wrong. Why would this one be be correct?

These kids should be arrested

Or if they use Hydroxycloroquine that you won’t promote. It actually saves lives. Unlike masks. Believe this . It might take time for some Americans to wake up but they will. We will not forget your lies and manipulation.

Wear a fking mask!

Bull! I said along time ago you would start this crap.

That whole country can be 'saved' if HCQ++ wasn't banned in almost every state for COVID cases.

Very simply require to save the life, but still too many people just appeal freedom right rather than to protect more people’s life ,involve themselves. It’s too ridiculous!

“Model Schmodel” these numbers are bogus

As if anybody is going to trust any model (especially one mentioned by CNN) at this stage of the game. People really need to do their research. While it sucks if you get it, the case & death numbers are grossly exaggerated to scare people...

Look, if these people don't care about their well being, we can't force them. In my home, we do all that we can to stay safe and keep others safe during this pandemic. Real talk.

The models have been very accurate 🙄🙄🙄

Simple Solution..... but maybe Not... Too many Americans are Stubborn, Selfish, Self centered and Entitled....😥😥😥

I gotta leave America..shit is a joke

Trump says children are immune to the coronavirus. I'm pretty sure he's the problem, not the solution.

Remember when the models predicted over 2 million

That will make you happy CNN

My 25 yr old niece has had COVID for 6 weeks now. Perfectly healthy young woman, but now she can barely make it across her room to get to the bathroom. But at least she can sit up now, yay progress! PS... WEAR THE FUCKING MASK CoronaVirusUpdates COVID19 TrumpFailsAmerica

Start ticketing people without masks on. Something has to give. This virus is taking over lives. Enough with some people saying that they have a right not to wear a mask. People have a right not to be infected because someone didn’t wear a mask.

70000 that’s it nah fucc it im not finna wear a mask no mo 🤷🏽‍♂️

More Chinese fear pandemic blather - we are learning what an enemy you are to the people CNN

We have seen enough models. They have all been wrong$

Still with the models? Has there been even one that is accurate yet ? Get over your stupid models which are made up for your headlines!

And how many lives would be saved if people didn’t cram the streets to protest or riot? These numbers are speculative at best and hyperbole at worst. California has a mask order in place and still has rising cases.

You harped in Trump about wearing a mask. Now it’s this. You are so irrelevant it’s not worth replying.

How many sheep are going to believe the words in this “article” about a new prediction by a recent model. Will anybody realize that the “model” isn’t even in the article? Trump-haters don’t need actual references anymore, just words. Sad
