There are many that die of the flu every year and we don’t close the schools and the nation’s economy.

The study projected that something like 3% of the U.S. population could have already been infected. That is an extrapolation but not an unreasonable one.
And we are talking about right now when we have had nearly 40,000 deaths. Note that the U.S. population is about 330,000,000 and 3% of that is about 10,000,000. That is the guess being made about how many have been infected.
If so the death rate is about 40,000/10,000,000 = .004 or .4%. That could be but it is still very high. I hope the estimates of .001 turn out to be right.
And the current numbers have been cooked !!!!!
