TO DATE.
Left unchecked, if projections are even close to right, 230 million plus Americans (70%) could be infected.
At even 1% death rate (wildly optimistic as world CFR is > 4% currently), that’s over 2 million dead Americans.
And at 20% hospitalization, that’s 46M+ hospital beds - in a country that has less than 1M beds.
But, hey, as long as Donald can get the economy back and running again so that he has a shot at being re-elected, guess those poor slobs who are among the 45M+ that don’t get a bed or the 2M+ dead are just plan outta luck!
You make *lots* of assumptions.
First, what makes you think this is “left unchecked”? I see many, many states shutting down.
The rest of your calculations rest on the “left unchecked” assumption.
And the goal is to get the economy running again *and* people be safe. The two are not mutually exclusive, as much as people on both sides want it to be.
You don’t understand case fatality rate. You don’t seem to understand.
Yes, left unchecked, doofus.
Trump is checking the virus everywhich way!
Did you get lost on your way to DU?
