Is the US predicting similar 70% total infected? I like the Merkel's upfront approach.
Coronavirus: Up to 70% of Germany could become infected - Merkel - BBC News
Quote:
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has warned that up to 70% of the country's population - some 58 million people - could contract the coronavirus.
Mrs Merkel made the stark prediction at a news conference on Wednesday alongside Health Minister Jens Spahn.
She said since there was no known cure, the focus would fall on slowing the spread of the virus. "It's about winning time," she explained.

Quick math for Germany - 58 million people, assuming 1% fatality (from Fauci), that is 580 thousand dead.
Quick math for US - 328 million people, 70% is 229 million, assuming 1% fatality, that is 2.9 million dead.
