Worst-Case Estimates for U.S. Coronavirus Deaths

Between 160 million and 214 million people in the United States could be infected over the course of the epidemic, according to one projection. That could last months or even over a year, with infections concentrated in shorter periods, staggered across time in different communities, experts said. As many as 200,000 to 1.7 million people could die.

And, the calculations based on the C.D.C.’s scenarios suggested, 2.4 million to 21 million people in the United States could require hospitalization, potentially crushing the nation’s medical system, which has only about 925,000 staffed hospital beds. Fewer than a tenth of those are for people who are critically ill.

I believe this is what many of us have been trying to say for over a month.

Times mentioned for shutting down country as much as 4 months, with a full year of putting out flare ups nationally.

The USA and Ohio are in for a nightmare ride.

No reason to panic, we go through this all together.

can't we just repeat whatever our policies were during the 1957-58 flu pandemic and let whatever happens happen?
