It's possible some of you already had this, recovered, and never knew it.

CDC already telling health workers to keep working even if positive :wow
they dont even have masks
this is bad
The HHS report makes some of the same assumptions about the extent and effects of the coronavirus itself:
- The fact that no one is immune makes it nearly impossible to prevent, or even slow, the spread of the disease.
- We still don’t have enough information to accurately define the spread, or the severity of the overall epidemic in the U.S.
- State, local, and tribal authorities are going to need federal assistance and look to the federal government for consistent guidance.
- The epidemic in the United States will likely last 18 months, or longer, and could include multiple waves of illness.
That last point, laid on top of similar predictions from the Imperial College report, is more than daunting.
Both reports are calling for a “lost year,” and then some.
A year in which many of the wheels of everyday life grind to a halt.
A year in which no one—no one—can determine the economic or societal fallout.

Intelligence Chairman Raised Virus Alarms Weeks Ago, Secret Recording Shows
The chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee warned a small group of well-connected constituents three weeks ago to prepare for dire economic and societal effects of the coronavirus, according to a secret recording obtained by NPR.
The remarks from U.S. Sen. Richard Burr were more stark than any he had delivered in more public forums.
On Feb. 27, when the United States had 15 confirmed cases of COVID-19, President Trump was tamping down fears and suggesting that the virus could be seasonal.
"It's going to disappear. One day, it's like a miracle. It will disappear," the president said then, before adding, "it could get worse before it gets better. It could maybe go away. We'll see what happens."
On that same day, Burr attended a luncheon held at a social club called the Capitol Hill Club. And he delivered a much more alarming message.
Thirteen days before the State Department began to warn against travel to Europe, and 15 days before the Trump administration banned European travelers, Burr warned those in the room to reconsider.
"Every company should be cognizant of the fact that you may have to alter your travel. You may have to look at your employees and judge whether the trip they're making to Europe is essential or whether it can be done on video conference. Why risk it?" Burr said.
Sixteen days before North Carolina closed its schools over the threat of the coronavirus, Burr warned it could happen.
"There will be, I'm sure, times that communities, probably some in North Carolina, have a transmission rate where they say, 'Let's close schools for two weeks. Everybody stay home,' " he said.
And Burr invoked the possibility that the military might be mobilized to combat the coronavirus. Only now, three weeks later, is the public learning of that prospect.
"We're going to send a military hospital there; it's going to be in tents and going to be set up on the ground somewhere," Burr said at the luncheon. "It's going to be a decision the president and DOD make. And we're going to have medical professionals supplemented by local staff to treat the people that need treatment."
Burr has a unique perspective on the government's response to a pandemic, and not just because of his role as Intelligence Committee chairman. He helped to write the Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Act (PAHPA), which forms the framework for the federal response.
But in his public comments about the threat of COVID-19, Burr never offered the kind of precise warning that he delivered to the small group of his constituents.

There is no immunity, and no vaccine. Normal flu seasons have tens of millions of infections, and you have the "herd immunity" slowing progress.
96M is only about 33% of the population, low as far as flu seasons go.
Dunno, really don't. Remember our figures for confirmed cases is likely far too low due to the Trump administrations bungling with the widespread roll out of testing. We just don't know at this point. The actual number of infections MUST be higher.
