Hard to say. I don't know how well the social distancing is going nor how long normal people will be able to hold on during this. People need to be able to work and pay bills.
Could it get that high? I suppose, though not even China saw those numbers. 30K dead might be realizable. I'm still holding out hope that we've taken things seriously enough to limit that number.
China is probably lying about how many are infected and how many deaths they have had. They've lied about this from the start, so why stop now. They could have 10x what they are reporting.
As for us, the increase is people who caught this 2 weeks ago. We don't know how many are catching this today. It could be the physical distance measures are working.
It doubles every 4 days.
And with a 3% death rate, that's at least 30,000 dead.
He keeps saying he's not a fear monger. I don't think he is, but I do think he's trying to get people to take things seriously.
Do you think we'll see a million infected in 11 days?

We have almost a million infected globally. It is spreading fast. We had over 20,000 new cases and over 1,000 deaths yesterday in America
It is true that China is far from trustworthy. They very well could have (and most certainly did) hide their numbers. I do hope that the physical distancing measures are being taken seriously and are working. I think we can really affect this crisis by taking it seriously and taking the social distancing seriously. Though we should probably quit hoarding toilet paper and such.

I would.... strongly recommend not taking Chinese numbers at face value... or, even, within an order of magnitude of face value.
Our statistics are limited by our ability to test.
3% death rate or anything close to it only happens if the health care system totally collapses -- a danger in NYC, maybe, but not for most Americans.
We all love to track data, but these statistics are likely only accurate regarding death counts -- and that only if hospitals can be sure of Covid-19 deaths and if governments provide accurate reporting.
ALL other stats are some percentage of reality as measured 10 to 14 days behind the infection exposure to the unsuspecting population who come in contact with the infected asymptomatic.
Eventually we will better understand how our government's slow reflexes led to the higher death toll the US is headed toward.

I watched the worldometer daily since the outset. At one point, China hit 80,000 about two weeks ago. Now it's only 81,500? That is almost a mathematical impossibility because they had been increasing by thousands a day and all of a sudden it just stopped? Who is checking their numbers? It certainly isn't the WHO, because they are in bed with them. How do you check China when they have a state run press like the leftists admire here?

I don't think the China numbers are accurate. But then there is also another possible explanation. Since it appears that all of these SARS illnesses are emerging from the same region of China, it is entirely possible that the Chinese have, to some extent, built an immunity to the SARS virus strains.
I mean it's possible, but the Occam's razor explanation is that they are just lying.
About five million residents left Wuhan, before the lockdown due to the novel coronavirus epidemic and the Spring Festival holiday, mayor Zhou Xianwang revealed on January 26 at a press conference.

It's worth noting that China's curve leveled off right about the time they expelled all foreign journalists. Must be a coincidence.
