As the U.S. hits the grim milestone of 200,000 deaths, ABC News takes a look at the last six months of coronavirus -- how we got here, what went wrong and how it’s still impacting us all.
People eat at a mostly empty restaurant with tables on the street, in the financial district during the coronavirus pandemic in New York, Sept. 9, 2020.Experts warn that colder weather and drier air will result in an uptick of COVID-19 cases this winter. "By the time you mobilize the distribution of the vaccinations and you get the majority or more of the population vaccinated and protected, that's likely not going to happen until the mid- or end of 2021." Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top expert on infectious diseases, told MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell. And that's assuming that one of the vaccine candidates works.
As the pandemic evolves, experts are worried we will see more people become complacent with the recommended precautions.
Maybe we understand it better now?
But what if they don’t get worse and don’t get better
200,000 MORE
The story of life!
You know those numbers are deceiving- how many people have had a cold or the flu And even the death rate numbers are not accurate- they list covid, even if the person has many other issues. Look at the facts. And people everywhere are free to wear a mask and distance!!!
Everyone is sooo over this Coronavirus. We are ready to get back to living! Your scare tactics worked in the beginning, but we now see through it. We will live with this virus for the rest of our lives just like the flu. It's time to start living again!
That’s because it will be in this years flu vaccines, just like it was in last years vaccines.
The experts said early on 200 to 300 hundred thousand deaths. At that time the big push was to 'flatten the curve'. That was so hospitals did not get overwhelmed. The US did a good job at flattening the curve. The end result probably will match or exceed the death prediction.
Abc fake news
I bet the experts are Democrats ...
No they won’t. Look at the data and quit fear porn
Things will get worse. We've heard the common verse. Spray you in the face. No, this time it's mace!
So predictable.
This virus has just scratched the surface....with 350 million people the potential is limitless. The vaccine is the answer.
As the True numbers come out, under 70 with no underlying conditions NOTHING to Fear. Virus deaths are inflated by 60,000 as they added people who died of other problems. My guess that demNAZI states will open after the Election in dementia joe wins
Reckless Homicide: crime in which the perpetrator was aware that their act or failure to act when there is legal duty to act creates significant risk of death or grievous bodily harm in the victim but ignores the risk and continues to act or fail to act and a human death results
Keep stoking fear - your communist tweet deck operator knows how to keep people afraid of this bullshit.
You do know that the CDC stated earlier this week that covid 19 isn't an airborne, it comes from human contact
40% of these deaths in nursing homes where 5 governors in five states sent covid19 patients. Cuomo was the worst and acts like it was nothing. He is a disgrace.
ABC/DNC 🐒💩for the day.
Rumor has it that many deaths attributed to covid-19 should not have been. Hospitals received money if they treated covid patients. The administration not the caregivers implemented the policy of listing COD to covid to receive the funds. A good journalist would investigate.
Thank you trump
Spreading fear...
Thay already have!
How many of those deaths were people who die with Covid not from Covid?
Lie.
200k deaths bad. 2.5m expert forecast catastrophic. Thanks for quick and decisive action taken by POTUS. Saved millions of lives. Now, open up.
Open up. This shutdown should be history.
“Experts” have destroyed the livelihood of millions of Americans. We need to ReopenAmerica
Bullshit!!
experts say the craziest things
If it’s from ABC News you have to remember it’s leftist propaganda. It’s fear and panic and it’s pushing the fake scam Demic. This is all meant to get you to comply and allow them to take away your rights. Which we all have done without any resistance
Beats the heck out of the 2.2 Million predicted! Too bad MSM didn't take their role in this pandemic seriously. Instead of calming people they perpetuated fear.Instead of warning folks that blacks were dying at a high rate& protesters should stay home they condoned it.
LOL
So, added to the nine thousand and something REAL deaths from COVID 19, admitted by the CDC a couple of weeks ago, what is the TRUE figure, not counting all the people who actually died of underlying conditions, but who have been counted in. Has it gone over 10,000 yet?
Hi guys, if you want to buy masks, I suggest you refer to ishopzone. Their masks are affordable, FDA certified, product quality is guaranteed, and delivery is timely (only 3-5 days in the US). Search for ishopzone on Google
Keep counting the DEATHS, or stay alive and WEAR YOUR MASK when in crowds, there's NO cure yet, but it's on the way. Support your neighbour, and act as if you've covid a 2m distance.😀
BullShit
Lol experts know nothing ...
Americans have no self control. One million dead from the coronavirus is very possible.
No shit
Only in the Democrat run states it will be worse, because that’s what they want.
Yeah, okay. I'm thinking icecream for dessert tonight. Ribs on the grill tomorrow.
Don’t believe it....
Actual direct deaths from COVID19 are much lower - but no one wants to hear that - sheep 🐑 believe what slip the media keep shilling put to them ...WakeUp
data/facts dont lie: shutdowns dont work. we need herd immunity/vaccine. for those infected: 99.8% of People Get Through This with Little to No Progressive or Significant Disease.
What will the next 6 months hold? Suppose that depends on your governor...
Facts: Scroll down to table 1, line 1, Infection fatality ratio, Scenario 5 ( Current best estimate) Lays it out perfectly. Follow the facts not the media. Fatality Rate 0-19 years: 0.00003 20-49 years: 0.0002 50-69 years: 0.005 70+ years: 0.054
Thanks for the pick me up (:
We know same sht difrent day
Well, yeah. Cold and Flu season, and Trump's SuperSpreaderEvents all over the country pretty much assure that reality. TrumpVirus TyphoidTrump CovidRallies
CDC and NIH no longer trustworthy under Trump? Listen to the Germans!
More fear, yet 4 x as many babies have been aborted this year...but thats ok, right?
Experts are for insects, life is for living!!!
If 3/4 of you wore a mask, you'd have this virus under control.
99.97% survival rate..... yes, it's simply terrifying that the govt has put everyone under house arrest
And they're right...it's just that it won't get better after it gets worse...
Well I also tell my friends things could get worse before they get better. Does it makes me expert ?😂
Fear monger in his all you have left ABC!
One thing I do know. We must put in place a travel ban from India, 94,000 cases in one day, thats crazy.
250,000coming soon to a neighborhood near you,if no masks,distance kept up by fools and idiots,schools become breeding grounds, oh well!
CDC says less than 10,000. Stop with the fakenews
of course
We are all wearing masks here in Costa Rica and our daily cases have doubled. So don't believe the mask hype.
I think when a news organization writes some thing they should list their sources. ABC NBC CNN you guys always talking up the stupid shit you don’t list your sources bunch of fake news we don’t trust you want to win our trust list your sources
Fake news
And Texas your giv ready to give your life for economy but the only ones getting rich are the CorruptGOP
Daily dose of fear mongering.
What?
No crap. If Creepy Sleepy Joe gets elected President things will get worse. Say hello to the 3rd world America. Say goodbye to freedom, your retirement savings, your right to protect yourself, your health insurance, your boat, your car, yoyr job, etc. Say hello to inflation.
Anti-maskers, Anti-Vaccine folks will keep this virus alive & well ... sad 😞
Forgive me if I don’t believe the “experts” anymore
Pointing that thermometer like a gun.
Considering our own POTUS doesn't wear a mask and has rallies without them, I'd say I already knew that. VoteHimOut
I’ll make a wager that says fewer deaths over the next 6 months than the last. Let’s go “experts.”
Same tag line over & over. “Experts” “could” No factual back up. Not sure why the media wants this virus to be as bad as possible...oh right. It’s a major part of Biden’s campaign. Trump lied doesn’t have the same ring to it if the virus is not what was originally thought.
BS!
COPS SHOT LAST NIGHT ARE OK NOT THAT ABC OR MSM DID NOT BOTHER TO REPORT IT
Probably less than 2-4 million like you originally predicted. Just saying. You would have thought 200K was good 4-5 months ago but as time passes the narrative must change so the media can continue to push its ultimate message. ORANGE MAN BAD!!! givemeabreak
I don't want to think about it.
The lying media is ok with trashing the president. The media fails to report on Hunter Biden dealings in Russia and is now part of a sex trafficking to exploit women.
Only 6% of them died of covid alone.
The tweet, the headline and the picture are all so hopelessly negative that I think you should be fucking ashamed. Like 10,000 people have died of COVID alone. The rest is a bunch of number games to instill fear in the public.
they report deaths late so dont fall for that trick
Great news propaganda for fake news. Big money pushing for lots of sick people for big profits
Even though they're getting better !! Pretty much a 99 percent survival rate, hospitalization rates down to 0.0312 Straight panic porn still..I'm not voting for Biden !
Yes, Halloween candy usually does that in the fall. Right after
🤣🤣Blow smoke up your own ass ABC
No, 200,000 died while testing positive or assumed positive. Not the same as dying from it.
You overplayed your hand... WE are in control now. 🇺🇲
ABC only interviews “experts” who thinks things will get worse.
so much for that flattening the curve talk aye there mates?
Lies lies lies. Hospitals keep getting that 37k per “Covid” patient and that 200k will rise. Cut off that 37k for each “Covid” patient and that death toll will stop. Guaranteed.
There are no experts! Just the media spreading fear.
That's tragic. Morally also, I think things will get worse before They get better.
Experts say things could get worse Experts also say things could have been worse Experts say things,then change their mind the next day. & MSM spreads innuendos
Which experts? You seem to be selective which experts you listen to & quote. Just the 'experts' who support your fear mongering agenda?
Ready...Set....Go...🤡
Yeah but👇
Almost certainly.
6percent
Experts ? Could
Omg. Stfu
Pray and do the best we can with TLC
Or they could just get better.
Just stop. Media has already destroyed any notion of “free press” w/fear-mongering crap. Media are phoniest people on earth. ShallowAsABirdbath
No they don’t. Fakes news ABC
Fauxvid19
94% of COVID-19 deaths had underlying health problems, 6% died of virus alone: CDC
When Trump wins again can’t wAit to see the egg on you r face we reject you
Experts 👍
I've heard this phrase at least 5 times since this pandemic started
fearitself Thanks that was superhelpful.

We know... Sleepy Joey said there are 200m dead...
Fearmongering !
I predict that after Nov 3rd the numbers are going to drop drastically. I honestly believe the numbers are being padded to make Trump look bad. VoteInPerson2020 VoteRedToSaveAmerica2020
Is it just me or does that lady look like she’s gonna pop 2 shots to that girl’s noggin
It got worse with the peaceful protestors, and spread like fire.
These so called experts have been wrong the last 6 months!
Fake news, those are inflated death numbers.
Who’s the experts?
The next six months we’ll have more : fakenews A crazy amount of biased news from you 🤔 most likely exaggerating the death toll... You guys are lazy. EnemyOfThePeople FakeNewsMediaClowns
We have a pro-pestilence regime.
Trump, the covid19 super spreader. Bigly moronic.
🙄
Yesterday, the number of COVID deaths was 5,721 and the number of cures was 284,282, down to 2%(early die 25%), which is likely to gradually reach the flu level.
FAKE NEWS
Thanks experts. You have my heart.
Last year our Viruses that cause INFLUENZA and the seasonal Common Cold Changed and to a lesser degree Chest Cold Inflammation depending on mational language spelled Mucus/ Lung lining (muscles) COVID 19 Danger signs
Walla
The Rev. President DTrump just said this week Convid-19 is not that serious, now who you think we going to believe, experts or our brilliant Commander in Chief 😷
500,000 to one million deaths. Which I cannot even believe I am typing this response.
Rest in peace to all.
The same 'experts' that said 14 days to flatten the curve? Or maybe the ones who said the public don't need to wear masks...then said they should. Ooh maybe the ones who thought stuffing covid patients into nursing homes was a good idea...those experts?
That’s exactly what I think, neither more, nor less.

Americans are too ignorant and selfish to defeat Covid 19. Truth hurts.
Stop
Fake corona 👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾
President trump has killed over 200,000 people and rising because of his failure to do his job as president!!! And he gives himself an A wow! How can trump be pro life when he knew how deadly this virus was and lied to the people about it!!!
Experts? Hard pass.
Lockdowns, mask mandates, gatherings limited but somehow it’s going to get worse? Then these mitigation efforts are doing nothing.
Geez, you think? :p
I can’t imagine why.
You guys are shooting your wad. You're already at max hysteria. How are you going to make it to November 3rd?
resumindo ,estava ruim mais parece que piorou ...
Experts predict things will get worse the longer Trump is in office 🗽
Why would anyone listen to these “experts” based on the consistent misinformation they have been giving to us.
JFC you think it takes a college f****** degree to understand ignorance breeds ignorance in America. Members of the Republican Nazi party should be sued asset seized exile from us soil never be heard from again. April I stated 500,000 deceased by the first week in January
They’ve already gotten better nobody cares about your fake virus
My school just offered in school teaching...I live in Dade County Florida, a Hotspot. We declined, obviamente.
I wonder why?
Fear Porn.
Love the fortune cookie news network
Better than 200,000,000 I guess. Not great, but better.
It won’t get that bad. fearporn
How does the humankind got so far without these now-days-specialists?
Most of those deaths r comorbidity. The media is garbage.
dont worry trump supporters dont die from virus
But, it only 'gets worse' if Joe Biden is not elected.....right?
ABC news - the country’s most depressing and negative “news” network.
But things are definitely getting better. CDC Graph says so.
They’ve always said that
And all because it was called a 'hoax' and never handled correctly. Then Fox Fake News spreading lies. CovidIdiots not wearing masks and the 'rallies.' No surprise the red states are leading the way.
“Could” which also can mean “could not”. Until you are ready to remove could don’t report it
Your guy Biden says it’s 200 MILLION. Can someone please be straight with us?
look like herd immunity
