15 million in the US seems like a big stretch. But more than a million is plausible if no action is taken and people go about their everyday lives as usual.

- MiroF 7y agoAgreed, and as many as 2.2 million. No need to make already awful numbers into lies by multiplying by 7.
- tempestn 7y agoPersonally I think 2.2 million is extremely optimistic if we're talking about a worst case where no one reacts to mitigate the spread. But ultimately it seems like we agree that it would be really bad, whether it's 2M bad or 10M bad, so no need to argue about it really.
