If the 100,000 is just 10% of reality, expected deaths would be way over 17,000

Since the US population is about 1/4 to 1/3 of China, with 2 months advance notice China gave, US deaths would be at around 1,000 if Trump had handled this properly.
In my opinion, 80,000 American deaths by July will be on Trump.
