Current projection is about 32 million infected in the US by the end of May and then 70% of the lower 48 population infected by July. Current death rate with care versus recovered pulled directly from the John Hopkins tracking map, 3,892 dead / 62,392 recovered = 6.23% death rate with care. See the whole "but 110K are infected and only 3,892 died so this only kills about 3.5%". Nope, 110K haven't recovered yet as only 62K are actually recovered with 3,892 dead. Divide those numbers into each other and you get the death rate of 6.2% with care or without care once the hospitals are over run- roughly 22%. So if 70% of the population is infected by July 1st; 330M x .70= 231M x .2189 critical care needed = 50.57M dead.

So let's be clear. You are saying based if that many are infected July 1st that 50+ million dead in the US by Sept 1st?

Let's make this interesting. I'm willing to bet you $1000 that doesn't happen. We both send a $1000 check to Grant and on Sept 1st, he cuts me, or maybe you (snicker), a check to the winner. Frankly, I'll just take your money and spend it with Grant.

I'm willing to put up with a lot of these conjectures, but you are not adding to 'the good of the forum' if you are saying that 50 million people are going to be dead in the US in the next six months.

Money, meet, mouth.
