Current CDC estimates are between 160 million and 214 million US residents WILL catch corona. They are HOPING death rate will be much lower than initial estimates - HOPING for 1.4%. Run those numbers... 180 million folks times 1.4% = 2.5 million dead (low # of infected and low kill rate). Oh yeah, there are currently 950,000 hospital beds in the US. Those will fill up quick which = a higher death rate.
re: 2.5 million US deaths from corona-virus
Then why is China with a population what 5 or 6 times larger than the US and with much less advanced and widespread medical profession seeing those kind of death rates and the virus is in decline there?
One, What information from China would you bet your life on?? They have a very clear motive to paint the rosiest picture they can. Why is Italy, a country with 4% the population of CHY-NAH, approaching half the cases and more deaths??
Two, China doesn't have things like Panama City beach, etc going on.
That's just a couple thoughts...
Listen, Zep, I hope you are right.
