It’s awful sensationalism.
I do think we in Alabama have the lowest amount of tests to give people. So as this chugs along, we’re going to have a higher mortality rate because only the sickest and most at-risk will get tested.
Something to keep in mind though is that worst case scenario is 10k deaths. That’s sad.
But 10k people dying out of 4.8 million is a mere tear drop.

And that doesn't have one thing to do with how many people will live or die. Now if there was a cure, testing would be very essential.
