A 1% case fatality rate seems pretty unlikely at this point. I'd be shocked if it was higher than 0.7% and will probably be around 0.5%. As contagious as this thing appears to be, we'd have a much higher death total than 100K (or even 200K) if it was 1%.
Still, the US has arguably been better than most European countries (outside of Germany) and Canada when it comes to protecting the most vulnerable and helping patients who get it. I'm not saying that Trump has done anything right or that we have a great health care system - I know those are hot-button words that cause a riot in here (and I don't believe either are true, FYI). The whole point of my response was because of the comment that the US is a "clown show" when it comes to dealing with the virus. That is just simply not true.
