If you assume 1/3 of the US population gets infected before a vaccination is developed, a .5% death rate equates to 1.7m people.

Mermelstein - 3% definitely seems high, but i'm not sure it's going to be that low. It's definitely more dangerous than the flu. Guess it really depends on how many people go undiagnosed.

Mermelstein: If the fatality rate were not high, you wouldn't have a Government task force and the hysteria. I'm going with Piers Morgan's 3 percent figure.
