There have been survivors! (this year)

The US CDC website has data since 2000(or earlier) and so far, in a decade, there were a total of ~ 6,000 deaths. Incredible, inconsolable for the victim's families, but in the bigger picture, not that many.

[...]

And, so far, with luck, it hasn't doubled every week, god forbid.

The WHO predicts up to 10,000 new cases *per week* by December. With a mortality rate increasing up into the 70% range, that means there'll be more deaths by the end of December every week than in the last decade.
