It is also worth noting that their estimates have a broad confidence interval:
To the extent that I have a complaint about the modeling is that the range of uncertainties seems somewhat too restricted. While I get that they have to work with the model they have, they don't make allowances for a second wave, for example. My mental confidence interval would probably extend by an order of magnitude: 84,000 (36,000 - 1.5 million).
