From what I am seeing in our ICU right now and over the last week, and considering the flu killed 34k people in 2018-2019, and comparing prevalence of severe illness and respiratory failure between the two viruses... yeah. 100-200k dead is very possible.
It is a moving target because there are a lot of factors involved. This keeps spreading and acting like it’s acting, a lot of people are going to keep dying. This is way worse than any flu I’ve seen in 8 years here
The rest of the state is still doing ok, it may subside, this may turn out to be a local uptick. But it has our attention for sure
