Dr. Mokdad we peaked on april 10 and they are coming down for the whole country but there are many states that are still going up and others are going down. Host how do you do your study . Dr. Mokdad we decided to model mortality on a daily basis and we used experience we have seen in china, italy, and spain. We reverse engineered the mortality how many beds we will need in the hospital and how many ventilators. So we know in the United States how many patients were admitted. Host at one point there was an expectation we could have 230,000 deaths and that number has come down, correct . Dr. Mokdad true. Our numbers have always been less than 100,000.
