No one knows how the White House came up with those numbers. As noted in this article from 4 days ago. The White House has not even shared what time frame their estimates correspond to.
Leading disease forecasters, whose research the White House used to conclude 100,000 to 240,000 people will die nationwide from the coronavirus, were mystified when they saw the administration’s projection this week.

White House officials have refused to explain how they generated the figure.
