USA 1832 cases, 41 deaths, 8 weeks since your first case At a 3% mortality rate that would mean 1366 cases At a 6% mortality rate that would mean 683 cases You don't need to know the actual number of cases to do a rough estimate Unless you want to pretend there are no more than 41 test kits in the US when you don't even know what a test kit actually is Let me guess, we are going to go until November pretending there aren't enough test kits so we can pretend Orange man bad, even though yes, of course the US health system is going to handle it better than the rest of the world Pathetic

Which by the way are just a bunch of plastic vials with reactants and chemical extractors
