New U.S. Coronavirus Cases Near 60,000 yesterday

 at a 2.5% death rate this means that of those 60,000 a minimum of 1500 deaths from those infected yesterday eventually. If it is in areas where there are not enough hospital beds or health insurance then likely it will be a 5% death rate which would be 3000 deaths from the 60,000 that were tested positive yesterday. This also doesn't include people who were not tested who have it from yesterday either which would likely be another 120,000. So, 3 times the 60,000 are the likely amount of people that are positive now including the ones not tested who will get sick or possibly die. So, the real death rate from yesterday is approximately 3 times what I calculated for the U.S. yesterday.
