Except we have good healthcare and only 1.4% of Americans die versus 10% of Italians. So in reality it wouldnt be nearly as bad as Italy. If we're being completely honest.

Part of that is to do with age demographics

And part of it is our system hasn't really seen this thing at the peak yet.

Yes we do have better care here but it will be interesting to see what the numbers look like when things start to peak. First week of April could tell us a lot.

For clarification sake, you're saying we should shrug off 4.6 million deaths and keep rolling since it's not 33 million?
