At the current doubling rate (approx every 2 days for USA confirmed cases, not accounting for any change in available testing), in 10 days, the USA will be at about 1.7 million confirmed cases.
At a 2% death rate, 34,000 deaths.
At a 3% death rate, 51,000 deaths.
In 14 days, the confirmed cases would be 6.8 million, approximately.
At a 2% death rate, 136,000 deaths.
At a 3% death rate, 204,000 deaths (will be linked to the virus, not that they will happen in that exact time period).
So hopefully we flatten the curve significantly in these next 14 days. But those are the numbers we're on track for at the current rate of doubling of cases.
