As a comparison, in the US, over 300 people die every year from drowning in their own bathtub.

No. That's an operative of some sort. The comparison is false on its face.

Nobody should be comparing Coronavirus numbers with anything else. Because those "anything else" events are DONE. Coronasvirus is NOT done.

14 in the first month too. you need to multiply that number by the r naught for each month after the first. but it will slow down in about 6 months as the virus hits saturation. the conservative estimate is 3 million dead in the usa by the end of the year.
