The death toll in the U.S. is now close to 3,000 - with more than 2,000 of them occurring in just the past week.
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Dr. Anthony Fauci said on Sunday that the death toll could reach 200,000.
Another model says 82,000 will likely die, with daily deaths peaking in mid-April at more than 2,000.
As a service to readers, here are recent annual deaths from other causes, many of which go largely unnoticed year by year, but most of which are preventable.
The focus has been almost entirely on how to save lives by limiting exposure to the coronavirus.
Some bad. The highway death toll will no doubt drop sharply during the months the economy is shut down.
Work-related stress alone is believed to cause 120,000 deaths each year.
