I said it's just below the level that kills everyone.

It's at the level that kills everyone that doesn't make it to the hospital, and between 50-100% of the people who DO make it to a hospital for immediate treatment (obviously the higher in that range you go, the closer to 100% death you get).

Which is why I said "tens of millions"

Of course... the radiation doesn't die out in ten days. The rest of the country gets a lower exposure as well... at levels where 35%-50% die no matter what.
