The new estimates brought forward the peak day of deaths by two days to April 10 with 1,983 people predicted to die from the coronavirus on Friday Peak resource use for hospitals is predicted to occur on Saturday - the day after the peak death toll - where an estimated 86,379 beds, 17,707 ICU beds and 15,414 ventilators will be needed The total death toll from the pandemic is now expected to be 61,000 by August, according to the projections There are now more than 490,000 confirmed coronavirus infections across the country after cases increase by nearly 21,000 overnight. The government projections, obtained by the New York Times, indicate that lifting the strict social distancing measures now in place will see a second wave surge in infections and deaths in about June and July. White House officials said on Thursday they believe the US economy could start to reopen for normal business in May, despite health experts urging for continued social distancing measures to defeat the coronavirus. If the current shelter-in-place orders are lifted on May 30, the death total is estimated to reach 200,000, according to the projections obtained from the departments of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services 'What we're seeing right now is favorable signs,' Fauci said in an interview on CNN on Friday.
