We didn't know how may died in the US a decade ago until several years later. Misdiagnosis made the death toll initially much lower. It wound up being around 12,000 deaths, but the total number took about 4 years to come up with.2. There is no way to know how many US fatalities there will be from the current pandemic. Clearly, we already know that the death rate is significantly higher than the worst flu seasons. I don't recommend panic, but I also can't recommend making light of a deadly flu. I have a mother in her 80s. She is far more vulnerable than most Americans. Isolating many of us protects the most vulnerable. The biggest risk is the economy, and not our already-threatened civil liberties. Fortunately, capabilities to work remotely are also significantly improved since 2009.</blockquote>
