"it's just a flu bro!"
"think of the economy! we need to end this shutdown now!"
meanwhile...
Over 500 pr day now, and a week from now, that should be over 1000 pr day.
And you cant rule out, that it could reach 2000 pr day, the following week after that.
People will say... its just a drop in the bucket! in america we have 7500 deaths pr day of other causes than covid-19.
500/1000/2000 extra pr day is nothing.
People are still not takeing this seriously. If they want shutdowns to end early, and everyone to just go back to work.
If things continue on current path, 3 weeks form now, there could be around 27,000 deaths in the US due to this virus.

A week? Try 3 days from now! In a week the US will be double that probably.
Edit:
As for the underlined part, I'm sure even then many detractors will say that the Flu kills more than that in a year, so no biggie for them and they still won't see any need for lockdowns or even just distancing.

Interview from today.
Dr. Fauci expects millions of cases of corona virus, and 100,000-200,000 deaths.
^ presumably this is just from the 1st wave, and in the US?
