As I understand it there have been about 4000 cases in the USA so far and 3 deaths. I calculate that if it were to spread and half the people in the USA caught it there would be about 112,000 deaths....in it's present mild form. ( 300M/2 x 3/4000 = 112,500)
In 1918 Spanish flue also started out mild. Then in the fall it came back and killed millions world wide. We need time to make a vaccine.
