We won’t sniff 100,000. Maybe not even 50,000. There’s only 42,000 deaths worldwide right now

I really do hope you're right. But the mortality rate is ~1% and that's with the appropriate medical structure in place. 14 days ago we were at ~4,500 cases in the US and now we're at ~190,000 confirmed. The actual total is of course much higher than that. If the case rate keeps growing like that, 100K dead seems like the low-end.

So let me ask you. What do you think the limiting factor would be to keep up under 100K/
