Also NYT: Original study forecast 2.2 million deaths.

I don't understand what you're saying - did that study not exist?

I'm saying the death count is much lower than originally expected.

A little more than 4% of the world's population and almost 1/3 of the deaths. It didn't have to be that way.

And yet fewer deaths than Europe. Just Italy, Spain, France, and the UK already have 125,000 reported fatalities. This is not a singularly American phenomenon, as implied by these numbers. South America may soon reach these numbers as well.

Very top-heavy on just a few states. New York in particular has the lion's share.
