You underestimate the ability of the US to respond. We've gone on a wartime footing in converting factories to ventilator and mask production. It's like when we started cranking out bombers at Willow Run. And once we start large-scale testing, we'll see that the death rate is far lower than many feared. Many who catch it will recover without even knowing they did.

There is nothing "conservative" about a million American deaths. That's

and drugs to treat it.
Not the US then. or any other country that lets it "run rampant" either.
( at current exponential rates the US could well have its 1millions corona death around mid April. intensive care facilities and related resources will be maxed out much earlier. )
