Death is inevitable as its a extremely deadly virus. However, Im speaking on the amount of exposures and deaths of individuals that actually develop it.
So naturally if peaks in 30 days, there will less be people that contact it and die. Again - you and the other poster are ignoring the crazy trajectory that is about to be discovered when testing becomes widespread.
how do you know that fewer people will contact it if it peaks in 30 days? You might be right, but the two concepts are not correlated.
Think about a group of 20 people monday to sunday.
scenario a: one person infected every day except Friday where 3 ppl get infected: total infection 9, peak date Friday
scenario b:4 people infected on Monday, 5 people infected on Tuesday, 1 person on Wednesday, zero people rest of the week: total infection 10, peak date tuesday.
The date of the peak is important but so is the size of the peak. Epidemiology is more complex than what is the date of the peak and while you might be right, I'm going to rock with the people who do this for a living until proven otherwise.
