This could technically happen and it is possible. Then again perhaps the governments of the world might implement quarantine measures in time and we can mitigate the impact. So far they are mostly on a reactive stance as opposed to a proactive one. So as I see it my prediction stands unless we get a proactive attitude soon.

Do you ever use sources for anything you say...

Do you ever have sources other than YouTube videos ?

Give it a few weeks
it's going to go huge, big numbers
up to 2O day incubation , spread asymptomatically
little to no testing in the USA to date
Assuming one lives in a western nation
If the Virus doesn't bother you,the toilet paper will.
No difference between the willful spread of this disease and the lack of concern for it in my opinion
This is more than the Flu, it took down the second largest economy,and Japan is grinding to a halt
And this is not even close to being over

If you read my first post I said "Of course I limit exposure as much as I can".... How is that any different than what you do? I'm just not concern over it all, I don't even want to get the typical flu either, but I'm not going to wall myself in my house for a month or two.
In the 2018 -2019 flu season 60 million caught it with 600k hospitalized. Out of that 600k about 60k died (10%), so for cases where it gets to the point of needing to be hospitalized the lethality is rather high.
With Cov19 it started out as a 1 to 5.5 transmission ratio in China, but it looks to be dropping off to a 1 to 2.6 ratio that is inline with the normal flu. The difference so far is it looks to be higher lethality for older people/other medical conditions, BUT much lower with healthy people to include almost nothing for younger people.
So what does your model look like over the next 2 months?

Will you provide sources for your numbers?
The reproductive number – the number of secondary infections generated from one infected individual – is
understood to be between 2 and 2.5 for COVID-19 virus, higher than for influenza. However, estimates for both
COVID-19 and influenza viruses are very context and time-specific, making direct comparisons more difficult.

Which ones? I think you want this one... This is from WHO
WHO report

When you do you think it will reach the inflection point?
To give you a more precise answer you are going to have to put up with some high level math with me, but suffice to say that the earliest we are going to hit a 1.0 point at the inflection point considering we are already at 105,000 cases and a current factor of 1.15 per day...
...you're going to see at least 5,000,000 cases before it starts a negative...
And that's if we were taking it seriously *now*...

I have a responsibility to others to be concerned.
We are faced with a time when we need to act collectively

So how much is hype and how much is reality? You are playing on the hype as the numbers are not that much different than the common flu. Different in ways, worst in ways, but also better in ways. The bottom line is IF you do not have underlining conditions dealing with your repository system you might get it and it is gone with hardly a notice.
To be honest, IF the numbers show a rise in healthy younger than 70 people dying then I'll worry.

What I find alarming is how some people preach scaling with most things or try and spot lying with statistics but those voices are pretty mum in the MSM right now. Panic sells. Scaling doesn’t.

How would it factor in if this unusually high flu season in the San Fransisco area were partly because covid got here sooner than we realized?
