98,375 Americans contracted COVID-19 today, 1,200 of them will die

5. I fear its going to be more than 1200

If you look at worldometers, cases who had an outcome : 6,252,730

They define an outcome as people who ended up recovered either at home or were discharged from the hospital or who died.

6,017,598 recovered and were discharged (96%)
4% of the people died. (235,132)

Now of course most Trumpers will tell you its 0.1 % because they compare that with the total population of the US which is stupid.
The proper metric is how many people died out of those that were infected. That percentage is much higher.

We have 9.312,272 total cases which means 3060342 are unresolved. If they follow the same trend, we will have a further 122413 deaths.

If I apply the same reasoning on your per day number that will be 3884 .
