y before me, way before anybody. And it was probably already saying, hey we better get some supplies in. Hey we better close our borders. So if you're not that person, well then you're an idiot. Because you weren't smart enough, wise enough to know we should have done it sooner. It doesn't help that you know it now. What good is that? What good is it that you know it now that we should have done this sooner? That's useless. Oh we're all geniuses now about the past. But if you weren't the first person then you're like all the rest of us. You're just an idiot who wishes you had been smarter in the past.

All right. I guess I didn't make it through Sunday without using a bad word. I'm gonna double down on my estimate for the total death toll in America from the coronavirus. So since the time I've been making an estimate I think I've been consistent. So maybe not. We'll see. But lately I've been saying this. I think, I think it will be 5,000. Now you might say to yourself, Scott, Scott, Scott, that's way off because we're already at 2,000 right in this country. I think we have, is that right? We crossed 2,000 already for this country. And we're closer to the start than the end, at least some people think so. That's my estimate, 5,000 total, which would be way less than even the common flu. I think the common flu it takes out like 30 to 80 thousand a year or something like that in the United States. So that would be a tiny, tiny death rate.

Now does that mean that we have overestimated the crisis? No. What my prediction is entirely based on people getting more clever and more serious and working harder. So yes, I'm seeing a confirmation that it's over 2,000 deaths. So I think you're gonna see when we hit around 4,000 deaths, which isn't going to take long by the way, that could be by the end of the week. So we're around 4,000 deaths. We're gonna have this figured out by, figured out I mean we'll have enough masks and we'
