Of the confirmed cases (now 85.6k in the U.S.), how many are likely to die?
Perhaps 1.8% to 3.4% if ICUs aren't overwhelmed. But perhaps 4.9% to 11.2% if ICUs become unavailable.
And unless you're a teenager or younger, this thing can easily kill you.

And that's just of the cases today. Over the past week it multiplied by 6. And it sure doesn't look like it's slowing down.
Nor is this only a New York thing. It's everywhere.
The people who say it only kills old people are deluding themselves.
The people who say the death rates are low are deluding themselves.
The people who say it's slowing down are deluding themselves.
The people who say it's just in New York are deluding themselves.

Every day we don't make people stay in their homes is another day that this killing machine grows exponentially.
