Your numbers are pure guesswork and most certainly are assuming NOTHING is being done to mitigate the spread.

You are just another hysterical alarmist.

Thirty days.....thirty days and we will be on a strong down slope with this make believe pandemic.

This horses ass excuse for an Armageddon event will wind up being far less an “event” then the common flu going around now which has already killed almost 35,000 Americans. Of course it could be 75,000 because no one is paying it any attention and we aren’t testing for it....right?

reading your posts it is apparent that the appellation of hysterical better behooves you.

As to the numbers - these are not guesswork. Let’s go over them once more to explain it even to the meanest of all intellects - even yours:
1. the numbers from all countries we’ve seen are that 70% of those exposed to the virus get infected. Out of that 70%, you have a case fatality rate of 0.2% for those between 20 to 40.

2. The USA has about 100 million folks in that zone - let’s say less than 70% get infected — that’s 50 million get infected. Out of that 0.2% die - that’s 100K

3. 10% of that 50 million will need hospitalization — that’s 5 million. I’ve put the numbers down.

If you think those numbers are wrong, prove it.

I’ve put the numbers DOWN compared to every other country.

This isn’t an Armageddon event - no one says so.

If we do NOTHING about it, it ends up like the Spanish flu - which hit 25% of the population and killed 2.5%

You want to go back to offices, restaurants, etc. and congregate. GO AHEAD. It will end up killing let’s say 1% of the population - that’s 3 million dead.

It’s not Armageddon, but it is a lot of folks dead
