I'm sticking with my original 200k, barring a cure. And so far, HCQ has been somewhat disappointing.

Back of the napkin: if half of the pop. in the US eventually catches CV, at the lowest CFR of 1%, that's 1,650,000 deaths.

If the CFR is more like what many have predicted / and we're seeing, 3.4%, and half the population again catches it, that's 5.6 million deaths.

On the table I recently posted, on the previous thread, the CFR (ratio) is 3.2.

Maybe even up to 33 million deaths (10%), 1 in 10 of our fellow Americans dying isn't that big of a deal out of our pop. of 330 million, when the alternative is to shut down a nation and destroy its way of life.

I doubt it would be that big of a deal in say communist China, but if we turned our backs, and allowed that many to die in America, would we still be the America we once knew - forgetting the 60 million who have already been murdered by abortionist, of course.

amorphous,

Your estimates do not allow for the 50% asymptomatic. If half the US catches CV19, and half of those don't know it because they have no symptoms, and 1% of those who know or think they have it die, that's 825,000 deaths.
