So if all of America (330 million) gets infected, and we’ve got a 1% fatality rate, that means deaths (3.3 million) would be up there with all the other things

So if all of America (330 million) gets infected, and we’ve got a 1% fatality rate, that means deaths (3.3 million) would be up there with all the other things that kill us combined!
- greedo 6y agoWe hopefully would reach herd immunity far before that point, but even with herd immunity only requiring 70% of Americans to be infected, we're looking at over 2m fatalities. And that's not even counting the hospitalizations that will be over 20M. What we need to hope for is an unlikely vaccine, or a therapeutic treatment to mitigate the worst of the diseases effects.
