Well, the worst flu season in the last 40 years killed 80k for a year in the US. This killed 77k from 4/1-5/9. So I think we can quit comparing it to the flu.
All tobacco related deaths equal 480k deaths per year. This is more similar to that. Most tobacco related deaths hit older people. Shaves some years off the end of their life. Occasionally clips a younger person in late 40s or 50s, but way more over 65. Even clips a 30 something rare case, like this. Many of the older people have other health issues. All tobacco deaths is much closer comparison to this than flu.
The death rate is not going lower than 1%.
You such a fucking moron and dipshit that you should apply to be on Donald Trump's coronavirus task force.
US death rate for coronavirus is 1.3% - TEN TIMES more fatal than the seasonal flu but less deadly than the WHO's initial prediction of 2%

Researchers created a model in which 35.5 million Americans would contract COVID-19 this year, as many as contracted the flu last year.
The model, based on symptomatic cases, found that the mortality rate is 1.3%.
If the model includes asymptomatic and mild cases, the death rate could be lower at about 1%.
However, relaxing social distancing measures or health care shortages will cause the rate to increase.
Iceland has done very extensive testing and contact tracing, and pretty much wiped out the disease at a 0.55% death rate.
I suspect for a first world country this is a reasonable best case scenario for a country that doesn't have a compromised medical system and doesn't have the elderly/vulnerable exposed at high rates.
I suspect the US will have an IFR somewhere between 1-2%, due mainly to elderly/vulnerable being exposed and not getting adequate medical care, ESPECIALLY in the nursing home setting.
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.

Yeah, but around the same time Pelosi was telling people in San Francisco to go to Chinatown and De-Blassio was telling people to go to the movies, and Biden calling Trump a Xenophobe, and so on and so on and bygones and bygones. Just don't think that angle is going to play.
