There are 86k confirmed cases globally. That’s 0.001% Why would you think most people will get it?

  The number of cases per day outside of China is still growing exponentially: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-cases/#case-tot-outchina https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-cases/... Until that changes it’s a fair assumption that a lot more people will get it

    If you look at the log graph on that link it’s clear it won’t get 50000x more severe unless the course drastically changes.

      Looks like doubling every 5-6 days. So a million cases in 35-40 days if trend continues?

  Because it's spreading exponentially and its incubation period is up to 1 month. You should watch the CDC press conference given a few days ago[0]. Officials are not talking in terms of "if", they're talking in terms of "when." 0. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNV8HYI126U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNV8HYI126U
