Scott Atlas says once about 4 billion people have been infected the planet will achieve herd immunity. So, assuming 1% mortality that means 39 million more dead and we’re good to go.
We would need to average about 1245 deaths per day to hit that mark, using Johns-Hopkins stats. Infections are rising, but chiefly in younger population sectors. Not improbable, but unlikely. We’ll probably clock in about 238,000 by election day.
