<p>On Monday, rumors circulated that the United States is predicted to have 200,000 new confirmed cases and 3,000 novel coronavirus deaths daily by June 1. <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/04/us/coronavirus-live-updates.html">The New York Times</a>, for example, ran with the report, suggesting the modeling figures were attributed to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and cited in a presentation by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).</p>
<p>The Trump administration, however, pushed back on the reporting Monday night, noting that the model data &#8220;is not reflective of any of the modeling done by the task force,&#8221; nor has it been properly vetted or presented during a White House task force meeting.</p>
<p>The daunting New York Times report positioned the alleged internal data against President Donald Trump&#8217;s promise to start reopening the American economy: &#8220;As President Trump presses for states to reopen their economies, his administration is privately projecting a steady rise in the number of coronavirus cases and deaths over the next several weeks,&#8221; the Times report said. &#8220;The daily death toll will reach about 3,000 on June 1, according to an internal document obtained by The New York Times, a 70 percent increase from the current number of about 1,750.&#8221;</p>
<p>However, according to the Trump administration, the CDC, and Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, that is untrue.</p>
<div class="css-1fanzo5 StoryBodyCompanionColumn">&#8220;This is not a White House document nor has it been presented to the Coronavirus Task Force or gone through interagency vetting,&#8221; the White House pushed back Monday, as reported by CBS News producer Sara Cook. &#8220;This data is not reflective of any of the modeling done by the task force or data that the task force has analyzed.&#8221;</div>
<p class="css-1fanzo5 StoryBodyCompanionColumn">&#8220;The President&#8217;s phased guidelines to open up America again are a scientific driven approach that the top health and infectious disease experts in the federal government agreed with,&#8221; the statement continued, a clear rebuke of the Times&#8217; political angle hitting Trump for advancing any economic reopening of the country.</p>
<p>&#8220;The health of the American people remains President Trump&#8217;s top priority and that will continue as we monitor the efforts by states to ease restrictions,&#8221; the statement concluded.</p>

<p>According to Cook, &#8220;A CDC source says this modeling data was &#8216;incorrectly attributed to CDC.&#8217; They would not respond as to whether they contributed to other parts of this document, and if the actual projections were from FEMA or another agency.&#8221;</p>

<p>Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health released a statement similarly pushing back against the Times report, noting that it included &#8220;preliminary analyses&#8221; and emphasizing that was not intended to be &#8220;used as forecasts&#8221; &#8220;and it is not accurate to present them as forecasts.&#8221;</p>
