There are 4 deaths to date in the US I believe.
9 actually.
Buts whats your point other than meaningless quips?
Are you claiming it won't go higher than 9?
Are you claiming it won't go higher than 100? 100k?
If so, what is the basis for your estimate?
[edit]
To answer my own question, the only rational argument that I've seen is that the testing so far has been so incompetent and incomplete that there have been a lot more mild cases than have been reported so that the overall mortality rate is actually less than what the numbers suggest now. I'd hope that the CDC would have taken that in to account with their new numbers, but I'm hoping they haven't.
But even giving it every benefit of the doubt, it is easy to imagine 100,000 US deaths before a vaccine is distributed and widely available.
That still sounds like a staggering number to me.
