Again, do not panic, but follow CDC and WHO recommendations.
We're all gonna die again! Oh no! If we hit 8,000,000 deaths, I'll apologize. If we don't, you should apologize for allowing yourself to be used as a tool and spreading the panic.
280shooter, you are taking a number out of context.
What I was referring to was another forum member's logic, simply substituting the most correct (at that point in time, from CDC and WHO) mortality rate and using their base of 330,000,000, which while directionally accurate as to overall population, is fundamentally flawed for this sort of analysis. I then pointed to a business insider leaked Gov't document that pointed to a near worst case scenario of 450,000+ deaths instead.
In any case, my only point, and most importantly that of actual experts, is that Covid-19 is far more deadly than the flu. This, by now, should be obvious.
