I do understand your question: How many Americans are going to die from Covid-19, because you seem to live there and your POTUS has really not understood an inch of what his advisers have suggested from the start of the pandemic. Countries like Sweden, Britain, Brazil and Russia and India have made similar mistakes, however not every country can afford a complete lockdown like New Zealand or Australia or Germany. A simple math lesson about exponential growth explains how numbers are getting out of control: The first million takes months and the later million only a few days … Simply said: Even after a complete lockdown like in Australia a whole city like Melbourne with 5 million people has to lock down a second time, as people are too relaxed about the virus, once the situation seems to ease … however a virus unseen and dangerous as it is, just does what a virus does: Trying to infect as many hosts as possible!

Another problem we should consider … After covid-19 will come another virus, this is what scientists have predicted as long as I have followed their warnings. Bill Gates on TED was only summing up what he had understood, he is an avid reader and he knows what he is reading and writing about. I am following his Blog Notes, very interesting and really smart.
