It is estimated that for every 1 infection identified in the U.S. 11 are actually infected. That's a low-ball estimate.
Thus proving that the d34th rate is being vastly overestimated.
We know that China, a country with 1.5 billion people and a lousy healthcare system, only had 4000 dead. Why would you expect the US to surpass this number?
I am a pretty big China hater and think China tried to cover this up in the beginning making it worse for everyone. But China is a poor country. You can argue about numbers but less than 1/3 the wealth of the US even by ppp. Average life expectancy in China is 76. It is 78 in the US. China's healthcare system is doing extremely well. And considering the wealth disparity much better than the US.
Only 4000 people died in China. Their healthcare system ain't that great. where do you get this stuff?

If infections climb to 100 million, then the death rate will soar.lol, Boris doesn't know what "rate" means.
You don't understand the dimensions of the issue. This is evidenced by your reference to the current death rate from coronavirus. The death rate will massively increase if the infection rate reaches maximum and there is no corresponding increase in health care infrastructure.
Delores seems like a Ruskie troll gaslighting the West.
not quite. He's GAG, a UM professor who writes about global warming even though he himself is one of the biggest contributors in political science (lives very far from campus, commutes by car by himself, flew to France every summer to teach 12 UM kids who also flew to France with him).
Why would you expect the US to surpass this number?
Because the Chinese did something about the crisis, whereas the U.S. has done nothing.
The US issued a public health emergency and travel ban on China just two weeks after the WHO repeated the Chinese claim that there was no human-to-human transmission, and just two weeks after the first US case was diagnosed.

Trump did nothing to prepare, and actively encouraged people not to prepare by playing down the expected impact. People will die due to his lies and incompetence.
a lousy healthcare system
Teri just makes things up.
Cyrus: CHina has a great healthcare system!
*citation neededI'm not saying they have a great health care system, but your condemnation of China is just cheap, hateful ideological posturing.
I'm not condemning CHina, just stating facts.
Obviously their HC system leaves much to be desired relative to the US. Thus, using logic we can easily conclude that Delores's estimates that "tens of millions" will d13 is bunk.
