This is either extremely outdated or just blatantly lying...

It's closer to lying than anything. I'm pretty sure these are projections the CDC made in 2019, before there was a pandemic on the horizon, that conspiratards acting in bad faith are trying to pass off as the actual numbers.

Shit like this is exactly why fact-checkers exist. Because otherwise people fall for it and society collectively gets a little dumber.
