Here's some different equations, also using the Diamond Princess. Especially for those saying: "Look at the Diamond Princess - it has a low overall mortality rate" .... Eventually, the morbidity rate came out to 18.9% using the Gateway Pundit numbers (705 of 3711) and mortality rate came out to .18%. (7 of 3711)
Multiply those by the 89,000 times greater population of the USA as a whole (330 million) and you get over 62 million infected (with and without symptoms) and 622,000 deaths.

This is basic college 201 statistics.
