His assertion of 2-2½ million deaths without his measures uses the experience of the Spanish Flu as a benchmark. The 1918 flu came in three waves over 3-4 years. Thus far, the U.S. has endured one wave over three months. Additionally, baseline health-care has improved in the U.S. over the past century. Lastly, though many think it unlikely, this coronavirus could mutate for the worse, mutating a contagion into a catastrophe.
