Death toll projections only increasing due to states reopening.

Recently, Covid-19 cases have been going down. However, with many states starting to reopen, the death toll is expected to greatly increase again. Originally, there were projected to be around 75,000 deaths. Now, with the states opening back up so quickly, there is no way to completely stop the outbreak from continually spreading.
