Trump's advisers released a 'beyond stupid' mathematical model of coronavirus deaths by a controversial economist

that the White House is relying in part on a so-called "cubic model" devised by Kevin Hassett, a top economic adviser, that shows COVID-19 deaths plummeting to zero by mid-May. , contradicts other models the White House is reportedly looking at, including one created by the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation that predicts 135,000 deaths by August 1.

Emily Gee, a health economist at the left-leaning Center for American Progress and a former staff economist on the CEA, said Hassett's mathematical model is "suspect" for a host of reasons, including that it doesn't factor in the loosening of social distancing policies happening in states across the country.

U.S. President Donald Trump displays a photo of the coronavirus beside Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, HHS Secretary Alex Azar, and CDC Associate Director for Laboratory Science and Safety Steve Monroe during a tour of the Center for Disease Control on March 6, 2020.Republicans have also been critical of Hassett's model and the Trump administration's overall virus response effort.
