A widely cited University of Washington model predicts U.S. deaths from COVID-19 will reach nearly 300,000 by Dec. 1.

The forecast of 295,011 deaths is 137,000 more than the roughly 158,000 U.S. deaths reported so far. The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation model assumes that many states will impose new stay-at-home orders as deaths climb.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention monitors the model along with forecasts from about 30 other modeling groups.
Combined, the models predict from 168,000 to 182,000 total COVID-19 deaths by Aug. 22.

Virus testing in the US is dropping, even as deaths mount.

(Meanwhile Trump says "It is what it is" and that the virus will just go away)
