As of today, I saw a report that 116 people have been reported to have died in the US of COVID-19. Here are my projections for an 1) an infection rate of 2.0, 2) 2.5 and 3) 3.0. Infection rate is the number of people an infected person will infect. I have seen reports of 2.0 to 3.0 as an infection rate.
Infection rate of 2.0
- Total number infected as of today: 51120
- Projected number of deaths in approximately 15 to 17 days: 747
- Number of infected people who will require hospitalization: 8690
Infection rate of 2.5
- Total number infected as of today: 89302
- Projected number of deaths in approximately 15 to 17 days: 1304
- Number of infected people who will require hospitalization: 15,181
Infection rate of 3.0
- Total number infected as of today: 140,869
- Projected number of deaths in approximately 15 to 17 days: 2058
- Number of infected people who will require hospitalization: 23,948
Now, does everyone understand why cities are being locked down?
