I HOPE NOT: Dr. Fauci Says Virus Death Toll in U.S. Could be 100,000.
A couple weeks ago I applied China’s death-rate-by-age-cohort to the US population, and came up with an absolute, unlikely-top-end, worst case of around 650,000 dead. So 100,000 isn’t impossible, but hopefully social distancing combined new treatments and mass-produced ventilators will keep the death toll far below that.
