CNN: We're soon going to exceed well more than 2,000 deaths, maybe 3,000, 4,000 deaths every day

This is getting scary. Please stay home if you can.

CNN:

Based on the current Covid-19 numbers in the US, the country is far from rounding the corner, she said.

"If anything, we are rounding the corner into a calamity," Wen said. "We're soon going to exceed well more than 2,000 deaths, maybe 3,000, 4,000 deaths every single day here in the US."

That projection has been echoed by other experts including Dr. Jonathan Reiner, a professor of medicine at George Washington University, who predicted Wednesday the country's daily death toll would likely double in 10 days, and soon see "close to 4,000 deaths a day."

The US has so far recorded more than 4 million official coronavirus cases in November, representing roughly 30% of the country's pandemic total of 13.2 million official cases, according to Johns Hopkins University data.

rate of about 2.5%, over 10 days, there would have to be 1.1M new cases/day to double the number of deaths. The 4M Nov cases are roughly 133k/day.

Mortality has gone down over time and treatment/theraputics have gotten better, so not sure the mortality rate is going to ratchet up significantly.

At 133k cases/day and 2000 deaths/day, that is a mortality rate of 1.5%.

Accordingly, we'll lose another quarter of a million Americans by March.

Nice job, Trump, you bastard.
