As the number of coronavirus deaths continues to surge in the U.S., officials are warning the disease could kill between 100,000 and 240,000 Americans, even if people continue to stay home and limit their contact with others.

Experts made the prediction at a Tuesday media briefing with U.S. President Donald Trump. But they said they hope the figure won't soar that high if everyone does their part to prevent the virus from spreading.

Worldwide, more than 850,000 people have been infected and over 42,000 have died, according to a tally kept by Johns Hopkins University. Italy and Spain accounted for half of all the deaths. Dr. Anthony Fauci, who is helping to lead the U.S. effort, said, "As sobering a number as that is, we should be prepared for it."

"I've practiced emergency medicine for a long time, and I'm seeing things that I never could have imagined in terms of the things this virus can do to all ages, including people who were previously healthy," said Dr. Eric Wei of the city's hospital agency. "The curve suggests we are at the plateau," he said. But "arriving at the plateau doesn't mean we have conquered the peak and we're done. It means now we should start to see the decline if we continue to place maximum attention on what we do every day."

Experts on death, or algorithms? Stop the experts crap, please!

They said 80,000 yesterday

Give it a rest. Three days three different numbers

Now do Canada.

Any CDN news? Or did Captain Crayon tell you to regurgitate what is on the AP website today?

That's 5 times the usual amount of deaths for influenza in a typical year .

That's Not an Option!

Roxham road is still open, maybe Quebec can carry some of that load.

Where do they get these ’s. A virus started in a country of 1.4 BILLION, and they didn’t have a head start to try and slow it down and it only killed 3000 people. Italy is at 11% mortality compared to 2% for the U.S who has over 80k more cases? Where are the ’s coming from?

Another wonderful copy paste from the AP. Don't worry you're doing a great job! We need your journalism or something.

Experts predicted the arctic would be ice free in 2016 ..... experts and their computer models! 🥺
