8314 deaths in the US as of the end of the day yesterday. Based on predictive models by people far smarter and more educated than a group of pilots who may have stayed at a holiday inn express, we are approaching the peak point in the next week to twelve days. So, yes. We will likely see more than 12000 deaths, but to say that this is “just getting started” is a little melodramatic. What is truly “just getting started” is the economic destruction that this is causing.
