COVID 19: I have not heard any predictions that everyone in the US will be infected. The comments about 2 million deaths was looking at one model without any protective precautions being taken. To stay calm - take precautions. Wash hands often with warm water & soap for at least 20 seconds. Avoid touching eyes, nose or mouth unless hands have just been washed. Use a face covering or mask when in public.
