A member asked:

I've read articles on COVID-19 with the quoted experts predicting millions of deaths in the USA from it, saying things like it will last 6 mo or more & that we will very soon end up like Italy. How can they be so sure of that or is that speculation?

So far in my state, 1,159 pos COVID cases & 42 deaths (12 in my county). My Dr thinks 100K people in our city (pop 400K) probably have it. How can he be so sure of that? Scares me to the point that I don't even want to go outside in my own yard.

My state's governor and my city's mayor have announced the reopening of businesses in the next week even though we haven't had the recommended 14 days downward trend in COVID cases/deaths. Is a large spike in COVID cases now likely because of that?
