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.

just some facts to help the debate... can’t wait to see how far down the rabbit hole this can get.

basically anybody sick enough to be on a respirator for acute respiratory distress from ANY cause has about a 40-50% chance of dying. Fortunately most influenza (and coronavirus) cases don’t get that ill.

The flu had over 29 million cases this season alone just in the U.S. I put that article in a few posts back. Covid-19 seems to be more “deadly”, but it’s been in the states since November-December time frame. There are a lot of people walking around who have had it not known and recovered. So arguing this stuff is pretty pointless until we have a real comparison.
