The numbers are all over the place. We know China is lying about there and they may have 40-50k dead and Italy is bad, but there's a lot of factors that dictate how deadly a disease will be in any given area.
Those who are 50+ are definitely at in a high risk group. If we can flatten the rate of infection, this will be little worse than a bad flu outbreak, but if it continues to grow exponentially, the chance of us outpacing the systems ability to provide care grows. Once we reach the limit of ventilators, we will see a spike in the rate of death.
None of this accounts for chloroquine. If the early indicators hold and we can produce it in the needed quantities along with tests, we should be fine.
Right. Wasn’t disagreeing with you. I was saying that the person who replied to you has a conspiratorial-ish theory that this post is getting upvoted because shills and infiltration from Reddit.
To reply to you specifically though, I agree that we should be fine thanks in part to social distancing and I don’t see more than a handful of hospitals in hot spots being overwhelmed. I think a large portion of the hype by the media is “continuous shortages” regardless of supply. Cardinal in OH just donated 2.2 million gowns. I bet they’re still screaming for gowns. Ventilator production is at ridiculous levels. CA mysteriously finds 39 MILLION N95 masks three days after DOJ announced they were going to target hoarders. Pardon me while I roll my eyes as hard as humanly possible at the cries from the media about prophesied shortages.
Spez: Forgot to mention how Dem cities are deliberately not distributing Federal aid to their local hospitals and so Trump has ordered the National Guard to make sure it gets to the hospitals. Nah, nothing to see here.

And where did they find them? A UNION SEIU.
