1/ THREAD: How many Americans will die from #Coronavirus?
• 56% to 70% of World's population will contract #COVID19
• U.S. population is 330.5 million
• Mortality rate of 4.33% (current world average)
Thus, the realistic death numbers in the US will be: 8,013,964 — 10,017,45

2/ If we use the current US mortality rate of 1.30%, the deaths in the US will be between 2,406,040 — 3,007,550. This estimate range is unrealistically low because the US health system is not (yet) saturated/overtaxed, but it soon will be.
3/ If we calculate using Italy's current mortality rate of 9.26%, the death totals in the US will be between 17,138,408 — 21,423,010.

Addendum: For perspective, approximately 1,100,000 Americans died in all the wars in the country's history, combined.
