obviously, not every one of the 330,000,000 Americans will become infected, but at that rates they're talking, isn't that considerably higher than 60k?


330m x .05 infection rate = 16,500,000 infected

If we assume your .6 figure (.006), that's about 100k deaths.

If the First Deaths to Wuhan Virus Were in February in Calif - JeffB MU - 4/22 22:21:56
     It has been long known the first US case was in mid January - TigerMatt STL - 4/22 22:39:13
          It was way before that (nm) - Sal MU - 4/23 07:28:42
          It has to do with how many infections there are, which affec - JeffB MU - 4/22 22:53:30
               The Santa Clara study, like the now withdrawn Stockholm - TigerMatt STL - 4/22 23:30:46
                    Thanks. Interesting read. I don't know if it is garbage, but - JeffB MU - 4/23 00:04:59
               But unlke the flu - meatiger MU - 4/22 22:58:58
                    The way it hit New York and northern Italy also doesn't seem - JeffB MU - 4/22 23:03:52
                         New York has 20,354 deaths and a population of 19,378,102 - JeffB MU - 4/22 23:14:39
                              One limited study - meatiger MU - 4/22 23:17:51
                                   So how's that work for the general population - Mormad MU - 4/22 23:19:45
                                        I would guess that the infection rate would be quite a bit - JeffB MU - 4/23 00:12:44
                                             I don't see either of those being widespread that quick - meatiger MU - 4/23 00:18:32
                                        a bit tricky - meatiger MU - 4/22 23:28:40
                                             I hope the mortality rate is a lot lower than 4%. (nm) - JeffB MU - 4/23 00:16:19
                                                  that was 0.4%(nm) - meatiger MU - 4/23 00:18:53
                                             Ok, I was about 1/2 that, assuming a 5% infection rate(nm) - Mormad MU - 4/22 23:31:41
                                                  you might be right - meatiger MU - 4/22 23:35:13
                                                       I think it's the great unknown because - Mormad MU - 4/22 23:40:37
                                                            And, we don't yet know whether you can get it again - Mormad MU - 4/22 23:41:45
                                                                 RE: And, we don't yet know whether you can get it again - meatiger MU - 4/22 23:49:08
                         NY is such an outlier - Mormad MU - 4/22 23:07:22
                              But I think it still gives us some valuable data on things - JeffB MU - 4/22 23:51:42
                              Meat packing plants are a problem - meatiger MU - 4/22 23:15:14
     I am mixed on this - meatiger MU - 4/22 22:28:33
          It is confusing, but as you say there are apparently 3 strai - JeffB MU - 4/22 22:36:40
               No there aren't.(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 4/22 22:38:46
                    That's what they are saying here: - JeffB MU - 4/22 22:56:28
                         There aren't three strains. It is based on a - TigerMatt STL - 4/22 23:27:20
                              OK, thanks. (nm) - JeffB MU - 4/23 00:14:51

                              It seems quite believable to me. This is very contagious. (nm) - JeffB MU - 4/22 22:58:25
