We had 500 deaths yesterday. We’re doubling ever 2-3 days. I’ll take 3 days.
At the end of next week, we’ll have 2000 deaths a day. At the end of two weeks, we’ll have almost 10,000. We’ll have 200k dead in roughly three weeks.

- bretpiatt 7y agoPosting this update half way through the 3-week period. We are now at 16,510 deaths total(1) on April 9th. I'm not suggesting COVID-19 isn't bad, it just isn't 20x flu bad with the mitigation we have in place. We won't really understand the statistics on this until a year or more out when analysis of all the death certificates come in and we can look at how 2020 is different, i.e. for each COVID-19 how many fewer flu deaths did we have? etc. (1) https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/ https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/
