Ah billing codes, the voodoo of the medical world. More complex than integrals.
And I remember some people saying here that over there would be 2 million deaths. Nobody got it right.
All models are wrong, some are useful. Very wise words and in my career, boy has that been proven so many times.
That was total worldwide deaths. Which at the rate we’re going is still in the books. 5k isn’t realistic anymore and has been proven false.
I'm going to disagree Corona, it was estimated 2.2 million deaths alone in the U.S. All major sources had it at such without any social distancing and measures in place.

"Yes. Certainly if we did no self isolation. Estimates are 90 to 210 million would be infected in the US without isolation measures.. Since we are doing these shutdowns the numbers might turn out lower.
Keep in mind 30 to 90 percent of cases are asymptomatic, (they don't really know yet) and they aren't being tested. (unless you're in the NBA it seems) In Colorado when we had ~100 confirmed cases officials were assuming we really had about 2000. I see Ohio days ago estimating 100,000 cases already. If that were true then we're already in the millions nationwide.

How many do you think will be infected?"

"Seriously, Mr. Fools, I'll take the advice of medical professionals over you or Tяump or anyone else downplaying the significance of the coronavirus pandemic. Until we know more, I'd rather not be witness to a repeat of this from 1918:
"Reported cases of Spanish flu dropped off over the summer of 1918, and there was hope at the beginning of August that the virus had run its course. In retrospect, it was only the calm before the storm. Somewhere in Europe, a mutated strain of the Spanish flu virus had emerged that had the power to kill a perfectly healthy young man or woman within 24 hours of showing the first signs of infection." --https://www.history.com/news/spanish-flu-second-wave-resurgence
There is no cure for this. There is no preventive shot one can take. This thing will run its course and, as happened in 1918, mutate if we -- the world's population -- allow it. Precautionary measures are wise and prudent. Why risk another 50 million people potentially dying by dismissing this as an over-reaction?"
It was actually stated that 90 to 210 million would be infected. The number is a little over 2 million right now. They were off by 88 million and I was off by about 115,000.
Another person said 50 million people would die. There are 435,000 worldwide deaths currently.
We were both wrong, but their numbers were WAY off compared to my predictions.
