If the whole country caught it at a 1% death rate, what's 1% of 383 Million people?
Straw man. The death rate isn't going to end up being 1%. Maybe half that. US population is around 330 million so assuming a .5% death rate...if EVERY single person in the US caught the virus (which won't happen because you start to hit herd immunity around 60-70% of the population) than we'd have around 1.5 million deaths. At the very most. That's worst case scenario and not even very realistic. Of those 1.5 million the vast majority would be people that would have died anyway in the near future (nursing home patients, 80+ year olds, those with chronic heart conditions and those who are morbidly obese.) Look, it sucks. But having us spiral into another great depression would be far more deadly than 500k mostly already very old or very sick people dying because of this virus. If you are old or sick, isolate and wait for a vaccine. Everyone else, wear a mask, socially distance, wash your hands...and LIVE LIFE.

Boston Red Sox pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez on Sunday confirmed that he was infected with the coronavirus earlier this year and is now suffering from myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle.
The condition is typically the result of a viral infection and can affect the heart’s capacity to pump blood or cause abnormal heart rhythms. It has frequently occurred in coronavirus patients, even though the virus is considered a respiratory infection.
What we don't know and have yet to find out with this virus in the longterm is immense. 17 members of the Marlins have now tested positive since the weekend. MLB is wringing their hands trying to figure out what they are going to do with this team going forward. Having a single team come down with so many cases of COVID in just a few days obviously wasn't one of their contingency plans. Managers and players alike are saying they are scared to death of this thing. Looks like a lot of sports folks are still looking for their "safe space."
