How many USA Coronavirus deaths by 5/1?

[isingmodel]

Who the fuk knows with any current model of the Coronavirus but going by the 100-200K with all the direct government aid, social distancing, Trump enacting wartime powers, etc — this shows how it puts the flu to shame.

People are kind of mindful of the flu, 60k deaths, here with all this it’s still predicted to do more. If society went about covid like they did with the flu it could be those 1/2million to 2mil doomsday predictions.

And the other thing people miss is that COVID deaths are in the majority of cases going to be additional deaths on top of existing endemic flu deaths. It's not like flu deaths are being substituted and so we're not much worse off.

When you already have hospitals operating near max capacity and then throw in possibly hundreds of thousands of additional deaths from a highly infectious disease, then you are fukked. The logic is just unbearably stupid.

If the prediction models are right, the low end around 25,000 and the high end 55,000. If it's over 100k+ by May it's gonna get real ugly.

JuSt ThE fLu LoL!!!

we wouldn't even notice 100k in this country if the MSM didn't make it the top story.

Is the Venn diagram of “it’s just the flu” crew and Trump supporters a perfect circle?

Imagine being so obsessed with a man that you downplay the severity of a global pandemic because he told you so

Yep. Books will be written about the complete and total control this moron exerted over other people. Everything is fake unless he tells them different. His lies are their truths.

SMH

We noticed 9/11. Why do you believe we wouldn't notice an event so many times more devastating?

Well we don't seem to take cardiovascular health very seriously....

[cnnfan43]

Go **** yourself, retard. Seriously. Reveling in death...

As long as they're all in Seattle, Portland, and San Fransisco, I'm okay with that.

You are the one who’s ok with people being killed as long as they are in Seattle, Portland, or San Francisco. You are the lowest of the low and a hypocrite.

[cnnfan43]

You on the far right worship Trump now but Trump is not reopening things immediately and not calling this a hoax anymore. I expect within a decade you’ll drop Trump and find someone even more extreme to worship.

[wincel]

Not trying to downplay the severity of deaths, but did you notice the 80k who died from the flu a couple winters ago?

Those people are still going to die. In fact, more will die from the flu as well because there won't be hospitals available to treat people. Distancing will help a bit, but overall, you will see more die due to not having treatment available. Ditto for other situations, such as trauma. Do you see the problem now? The flu does have an impact on our economy, but the current virus is many times more deadly than flu. The tragedy people hope to avoid is the collapse of the healthcare system.

If we took no distancing measures and allowed people to continue working, it would probably exceed 2 to 3 mil US deaths from virus. This would collapse the entire healthcare system and lead to more deaths as well from other treatable issues. It would collapse our economy far worse than if we practice distancing.

I'll also remind everyone that while the lock down is murdering the economy, it was not what caused the collapse. The collapse happened because Saudi Arabia flooded the market and tanked oil. We are in a classic liquidity trap situation. It would have been bad with or without the virus.

The global economy is already fuked and that is why everyone is choosing distancing as the solution. It's not like people in the CDC etc are emotional about this. Look at Russia and India. Do you think they give a fuk? Do you think China gives a fuk? It's not because people are emo and want to save lives. It's because it is the best possible alternative here. Everyone wants to save their economy, but distancing is the best way to do it.

[Xinroth]

Going with 20-50k.

If we don't get actual "deaths by covid19" we'll still have extra hundreds/thousands of deaths that are caused by people being unable to get proper medical care due to most medical personnel stuck dealing with covid19 patients, and/or being infected by the virus itself.

[wincel]

JuSt ThE fLu, LoL!!!

[Cleveland33]

I am well aware of the problem, you don't have to explain it to me. I'm just reinforcing the point that Cleveland made.

People will die, no argument there.

Dr. Birx predicts up to 200,000 U.S. coronavirus deaths ‘if we do things almost perfectly’

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/30/whit...us-deaths.html

The White House coronavirus response coordinator said Monday that she is “very worried about every city in the United States” and projects 100,000 to 200,000 American deaths as a best case scenario.

“The best care scenario would be 100 percent of Americans doing precisely what is required, but we’re not sure that all of America is responding in a uniform way to protect one another,” Birx said, referencing images circulating online of people still congregating in big groups and ignoring CDC guidelines.

[wincel]

No dude. Russia and Saudi got into a pissing war over oil production which led the Saudi's to flood the market all due to the lack of demand from China because of the coronavirus.

I meant with or without the virus HERE in America.

[wincel]

Nah dude. You just didn't know what the fukk you were talking about.

After may 1, when I am showed to be right, I expect everyone here to suck my dick.

[Xinroth]

No, you (and many other people, including myself) won't notice anything unless your own mother, father, sister, daughter, brother, son, wife (and so on) get hospitalized and get intubated for 2 weeks hanging on for dear life.

my attitude wouldn't change.

[menseks]

my attitude wouldn't change.

i don't get it. why not take it srsly? you have all the evidence in front of you. do you just like being the contrarian?

it really fascinated me that people still think like you in light of all the deaths around the world.

[ImpressiveGainz]

when will you stop sharting all over the forum with your stupidity?

You know nothing about anything.

I can admit my GUESS was wrong; you, and the rest of the ****ing shills, cannot. I still don't think it will climb much higher, regardless of what Dr. Fauci says; that is absolute worst case scenario. Now that the FDA approved cholorquine for treatment and a vaccine is under development, it should be manageable.

So, again, go **** yourself. You and the rest of the idiot libs ARE in fact reveling in death. It's a game to you...the more deaths, the better! It's pathetic and disturbing.

[Slayermanlet]

do you just like being the contrarian?

The entire justaflubro mentality

100k deaths in the US would not be noticeable to the general population unless it was informed about it. Even if a close relative of mine were to die from the virus, that would not change my attitude that people wouldn't notice.

My point is even if we hit 100k deaths that is a lot of death but still less than one half of one percent of our population.

I am taking it seriously, but I don't think it is as horrific as we're making it.

he plays a caricature online. he's not like that in real life.

you know, like how mark hamill plays the joker as a voice actor, but he's not really the joker. he's not luke skywalker either.

nobody is reveling in death (i hope). it's tragic, but the situation is far worse than it could have been due to stupidity like yours from people who lack the mental ability to grasp the gravity of the situation. if every idiot wasn't a big science denier and wasting time early on saying it was all a hoax, we could have save many more lives.

it's in fact YOU and YOUR STUPIDITY that is reveling in death.

[Cleveland33]

if only, son.

But if 100,000k died of a new disease in the span of say 6 months and there was no news coverage, do you believe you would notice that uptick in deaths from your daily life?

[menseks]

a million people could die and you wouldn't know it if it weren't for news coverage. if all of the southern states killed themselves tomorrow, you wouldn't know.

you wouldn't know chit about anything outside your 100 mile bubble if it weren't for news or news sources.

what are you on about? lmao.

Are you saying as long as it doesn't affect you, you don't care?, There's lots of things that have happened that I otherwise wouldn't know about if not for the internet.

I don't think that is accurate. A million people and you would be able to notice it within my day to day life. Definitely with the southern states.

[Cleveland33]

No not at all, I am saying if it did affect me, I wouldn't change my attitude that I think we are overblowing this.

[kingmanaverage]

No not at all, I am saying if it did affect me, I wouldn't change my attitude that I think we are overblowing this.

ah o.k., I do think that there needs to a milder approach since a 3-4 month lockdown just doesn't sound realistic or sustainable but we'll see.

[Jayarbie]

I voted 20-50k, although I think it will be right around 50k, so I'm on the upper end of that range.
