Hello Dutch Uncle,
I think 2/3 of America understands we have not peaked yet, disagrees with opening up for business too soon, and knows that things are going to get worse before they get better.Originally Posted by Dutch Uncle

Here is a screenshot of the graph of American deaths"

The way that curve is rising, it appears we will have passed the 62,000 figure in 10 days.

At 1000/day then 10 days is 10,000. We'll probably go over 49,000 today so it would be close.

Hello Dutch Uncle,
The daily death rate is more like double that. 2000 deaths per day.

I think it's closer to 80%.

That should present a very troubling figure in 10 days.

How many deaths are there per day in the US?

In other words, a person dies in the US approx
every 12 seconds. Mar 5, 2018
How many people die annually in the world?

Based on the cases and deaths, I was afraid we would hit the 62,000 before the end of the month based on the math. It's looking like that will definitely happen.
At least NY seems to be on the downward slope but other states have still not peaked. We may not see less than 1,000 deaths a day until mid May. At this point the question is whether we can keep it under 75,000 by the end of May. I am not optimistic that we can.
I saw a lot of people were wearing masks last week when it was first announced, often over 50%. Then this week it seems to have dropped off, maybe 25%. That doesn't bode well for keeping this on a downward slope.

True enough on normal years. Are you saying it will be the same this year? Higher? Lower? Are you going to pussy out again and not say? If the numbers next year are a million over 2.8M, will you admit COVID-19 isn't a fake virus? Will you admit that it's worse than the Flu?
I'm fascinated that you to actually believe the CDC figures and aren't accusing them of falsifying the numbers, low balling them to make Obama look good or something equally silly.

The nation could see over 62,000 Americans dead from COVID-19 by Cinco de Mayo. As sane people know, this is on top of all normal flu and other disease deaths. One thing we might see a drop in is auto deaths; people are making kamikaze attacks on each other trying to get to work because of the shutdown.
If this rate stays the same, it could be over 180,000 dead Americans from COVID-19 by Election Day.
From last March 15th:
Trump weaseled out of the rallies after telling everyone for weeks that it's nothing worse than the flu and that the Democrats were making too big of a deal about it.
I think we're in for at least six more weeks of it; a first, second and third week due to the 14-day max incubation period, but, yes, it could be over by the 4th of July.
OTOH, we might have something to celebrate on Cinco de Mayo! Maybe even Easter!

...and this year it will be 2.5 million deaths plus another 180,000+....especially if we open up the country like it was mid-January.
Biologically, it will be good to cull the herd of the weak, the elderly and the sick.
Is it better to have 3-9M dead Americans but the remaining 97% are healthy, happy and prosperous? or is it better to have 1M dead and the remaining 99% are poor and financially ruined?

Looks like the US will go over a million total confirmed cases by Tuesday at the current rate.
