Scary but not at all unrealistic. Stay at home people.

It's scary because it's poorly written panic porn.

Are you that stupid?

If the Idiot in Chief shut down the entire country for two weeks, we could lower the death rate. That means a lot more people would live through this pandemic. Some of those people who die will be people you and I know. And a lot more people could get back to work sooner. But because the Idiot in Charge dismissed the severity of this outbreak (he's stupid, so no surprise), many, many Americans will die. Maybe you too, PP?

Go ahead, live your life as you wish, but I'm staying home for the good of my family and my community.

I do not want to spread this virus if by any chance I could contract it but have no symptoms. It's a small sacrifice. And I'm doing a lot more reading.

The current transmission rate of the disease is estimated to be between 8 and 17% -- Not 100% or 50% or even 25%..

see: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.02.14.20023127v1.full.pdf

Page 3: "We specified a rate parameter, β, for the transmission rate due to documented infected individuals.
The transmission rate due to undocumented individuals is reduced by a factor 𝜇."
and then in their conclusions: β * 𝜇 is around 14% (between 8 and 17 when you get the errors on it) -- column 2 in table 2 page 10 --

Yes if 80% of the country gets and a 2% death rate..that’s only 5.232 million deaths. That is not even close to the numbers of deaths in WW2.
