NBC NEWS: The attending physician of the U.S. Congress & Supreme Court, Dr. Brian Monahan, briefed Senate Staff yesterday in a closed-door meeting that he expects anywhere from 70 up to 150 million people in the U.S. to contract coronavirus, per two sources @JulieNBCNews
Michael Del Moro on Twitter

National population is around 327 million people - not everyone will die from it - those most susceptible are those with compromised immune systems, overall health condition, and the elderly.

How deadly is the coronavirus?

And deaths were at least five times more common among people with diabetes, high blood pressure or heart or breathing problems.

The funniest thing for me anyways - I'm employed with a B2B publisher, healthcare division, so it's impossible for a day to go by without my being exposed to at least one article on coronavirus for professionals in the healthcare industry.

For example, my earlier post on the cancellation of HIMSS 2020 which is a major healthcare industry event.

It is true I have been washing my hands more often, especially after coming home from work, Publix, wherever.

Mentally though I have not been all that preoccupied with coronavirus.
