Hello Everybody,

Germany's Merkel says 70% of the population will get sick
by the novel coronavirus. But the USA has a much larger population
than Germany. Do the math, given the fatality rate of 3.4% and
those numbers will truly shock you.

Total Number of Infected * Lethality Rate = Number of Deaths

70,000,000 infected * .034 lethality rate = 2,380,000 dead

150,000,000 infected * .034 lethality rate = 5,100,000 dead

Total population of USA today is estimated at 327 million.
Do the math. Then do it in German, at 70% rate.

Congress' in-house doctor told Capitol Hill staffers at a close-door
meeting this week that he expects 70-150 million people in the U.S. —

Why it matters: That estimate, which is in line with other projections
from health experts, underscores the potential seriousness of this
outbreak even as the White House has been downplaying its severity in
an attempt to keep public panic at bay.

Dr. Brian Monahan, the attending physician of the U.S. Congress, told
Senate chiefs of staff, staff directors, administrative managers and
chief clerks from both parties on Tuesday that they should prepare for
the worst, and offered advice on how to remain healthy.
