My Guess Is One Million Dead In The USA From Coronavirus

All the Republicans want to go to church and go shopping and ignore the fact that Trump can't get 1% of the tests we need to have a chance of staying safe. They want to open up the country so (a million) can die.

When this is all done we will lose one million.

To hell with the idiot scientists. Anyone with a working brain knew it would be more than 60,000.

My wife and I have already buckled down for the long term. One weekly trip in a near hazmat costume, and we are pretty well stocked.

Good luck everyone and stay safe.

The official toll is around 80,000 now; and I think
it's actually much higher due to under-reporting
and testing.

407,000 Americans died in WWII. Think of the sacrifices our parents and grandparents made.

Ugh. I know the number is rather low due to not having many parents of that generation left. But they watched their kids die and now they are dying. Sucks!!!!!!

The number of dead is adding up so fast that I have lost track.

I believe that 1 million is too high, my guess is 400,000-700,000. What will slow things down is the dying will move for heavily populated cities to less populated ones in the South and Interior West.
