I heard on the radio somewhere yesterday that a WHO official stated something to the effect of up to 60% of the world population could be infected before this thing is stopped.
We promised Dionysus there would be no math, but some crude math to ponder based on that statement:
World population is about 7.2 billion (give or take few hundred million).
Death rate % is reported @ 2%, last I heard (I think this is WAY lower than actual).
So 60% of 7.2 B is about 4.32 billion contract the disease
If 2 % death rate is correct: of 4.32 B, 2% = 86 million will die!
86 million would be a pandemic that will far surpass the Spanish Flu that killed, IIRC, - 50 Million people worldwide in 1918.
