except the death rate in S Korea is more like 1%. Not all americans will get this and with a 1% death rate even if all 330 million of us got ill the number of deaths would barely. e in the millions. The drama is huge.....
“even if all 330 million of us got ill the number of deaths would barely. e in the millions. The drama is huge.....”
Barely in the millions.
Imagine the drama of 3.3 million dead.
But in your scenario - the one we are all supposed to be on a war footing to prevent - it wouldn’t be 1%. The HCS would collapse and we’d be getting the 1 in 12 dead, like Italy. That would be 40 million. And tack on a couple percent more due to there being no hospital beds open for regular needs.
So call it 45 million. I rounded down.
No drama.
3.3 million people dead? That’s a whole state! That’s a lot of people!
But I don’t think it’ll get that bad.
