I really, really do not want to alarm people, but this is just too important not to share with all of you especially considering the source which clearly is credible.
Congressional doctor expects 70M to 150M people in U.S. will contract coronavirus
The attending physician of Congress and the Supreme Court, Brian Monahan, briefed Senate staff on Tuesday afternoon in a closed-door meeting and said that he expects 70 million to 150 million people in the U.S. will contract the coronavirus, two sources tell NBC News.

Oh, and get a load of this Hunger Games-type shit:
Monahan also told staffers that, right now, coronavirus testing would be administered only to members of Congress, and that staff should go to their doctors if they are experiencing any symptoms.
So far coronavirus has a roughly 3% mortality rate, but experts say it should go lower. I don’t want to be alarmist here, but doing some back of the napkin math, if this is true and the mortality rate for coronavirus goes down to 2%, and assuming we get the low figure of 70 million infections, that comes out to 1.4 million deaths. If it's the high figure of 150 million, that's 3 million deaths.
Even if we get a 1% mortality rate, if 70 million are infected that's 700,000 deaths, and if 150 million are infected that's 1.5 million deaths.
We better hope the mortality rate is a lot lower.
Meanwhile, this dumb motherfucker.
My God, this might be the modern version of the 1918 Spanish flu epidemic. And we’ve got this lying imbecile at the wheel.
Everybody, please be safe and take whatever reasonable and necessary precautions you can for you and your loved ones.
