Might not be that farfetched considering the rapid increase in people catching it and people dying from it.
Based on the covid stats worldwide, it's a million cases and about 50,000 deaths.
That's a 5% death rate.
So, at the low end..........if we get 100,000 deaths........that means we're gonna have at least 2 million cases in the U.S.
Since 100,000 is 5% of 2 million.
If we end up with 240,000 deaths......that's 5% of almost 5 million (4,800,000) cases.
Now, if we end up with cases in the millions..........that 5% is probably gonna go up because we don't have the capacity to treat that many people.
Basically creates a domino effect.
On top of that, if I'm not mistaken, that estimate was a best case scenario.
So it's probably going to get a lot worse if they can't get this thing under control.
