NopeDeaths: 61,200 - of which, btw 29% is in NY (I believe those numbers include the Flu deaths and NY didn't allocate correctly as they are such an outlier but let's assume 61,200 is accurate).
Population: 330mil. Probably more due to the non documented but we will go with that #.
Deaths per 1000: Less than 2.
Let's say I assume 2.5x the deaths or 154,250. That number moves to less than 5 deaths per 1000 persons. We all agree it is a war and in war unfortunately you sacrifice the few to save the many. Why are we sacrificing 900+ people to save 2 or at worst 5?
Let's make it simple.
Currently: 64k dead.
Growth/d: 2k.
154k - 64k = 90k
At the current rate, 90k deaths take 45 days - that would happen around mid-June. That's assuming the infection and fatality rates won't pick up with more and more businesses reopening in fly-over country.
You actually seem to think, grabbing some numbers, piling them up, and crowing over what you've found, amounts to an argument.
Be advised, it doesn't.
