    You think it's over by the end of this year? Next winter will probably be the worse.

    By the end of this year I'd predict 100,000 US deaths.

    Of course, the counselor, dodo and scotty are excused. 80,000 offed in the 2017-2018 flu season.

    I'm going with 20,000 by next October.

    CORONAVIRUS IN PERSPECTIVE
    Rightly or wrongly, coronavirus has come to dominate the news and has devastated the stock market, at least temporarily. Government at all levels is afraid of being accused of doing too little, and therefore is, if anything, contributing to an atmosphere of panic.

    At this point, we don’t know how serious the coronavirus outbreak in the U.S. will ultimately be. So far, the latest total I have seen is 38 deaths in the U.S. No doubt that total will increase significantly, but will it rise to the level of the estimated 80,000 flu deaths that the U.S. experienced just two years ago, the winter of 2017-18? I created this chart, which shows coronavirus fatalities to date compared with the 2017-18 total. There is a line there for coronavirus, but you can’t see it yet.

    My plan is to continue to update the chart as coronavirus infections continue. I think it will be a valuable tool to put coronavirus in perspective. Perhaps, by this time next year, the coronavirus bar will be several multiples of the 2017-18 bar. Perhaps not.



    Don’t update. You might get this message:




    I’ll say 30, 000.

    Depends on how quickly you think work can be done to prevent next winter’s activity ... by all accounts appears that 1) significant progress is being done here and 2) Trump noted that there was going to be significant pulling of red tape to fast track solutions

    Flattening the curve has the chance to buy a lot of time to finding good solutions

    So Trump killed 80 000 people two years ago?

    How can we tell what is COVID and what is flu?

    They'll be lumped so 40K

    This I actually believe to be true. There's going to be a large number of reclassifications that otherwise would have died regardless.

    Bureaucrats fudge numbers - it's what they do.

    Especially bureaucrats who would do ANYTHING to see Trump lose.

    There isn't a rat in Congress that wouldn't trade 350K little people deaths for Trumps loss in the upcoming elections.
