Ah, I see. Someone didn't read their source material well. From the linked article:
------------------------------
"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.
The projections, based on government modeling pulled together by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, forecast about 200,000 new cases each day by the end of the month, up from about 25,000 cases a day currently."
Please stop reporting bogus "good news" about coronavirus. Monkey experiments and false claims of a "cure" belong in tabloid blogs.

We never, ever report on bogus, tabloid stories. That is a promise :)
"the country should expect roughly 200,000 daily cases by June, a 70 percent increase from the current number of 1,750"
Someone's gonna have to explain that math to me.

Thanks for that - yes, will update!
”the country should expect roughly 200,000 daily cases by June, a 70 percent increase from the current number of 25,000 cases a day.”
Ack! What are you doing to me , Ben?
Closer, but you’re still combining numbers from two different sentences from the source article.
Happy to help.
So obvious an error was so uncharacteristic, I figured something must have just gotten jumbled by mistake.
