I worry but I don't accept reddit's panicky "70% will be infected + 4% death rate = 150 million deaths" I even think the 500k death in the US is too much http

>Lawler's estimates include:
>4.8 million hospitalizations associated with the novel coronavirus
>96 million cases overall in the US
>480,000 deaths
Once again I'm not downplaying it but I think we will be closer to the 1957-59 asian flu which had 70k deaths in the US and 2 million global BUT maybe that's even too much https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Influenza_A_virus_subtype_H2N2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Influenza_A_virus_subtype_H2N2
