The 70,000 new cases on Friday would equal a minimum of 1750 deaths at a 2.5% rate

However, since most of these cases are occurring where health care is spotty at best out in the country we could have a 5% death rate on the 70,000 on Friday which would be 3500 deaths from the 70,000 cases just on Friday. So, we may already be (within a month from now) at a 3500 death rate per day just from the 70,000 new cases a few days ago on Friday.
