In the UK, the government's projections are that in a good scenario, 20,000 people die... but that's very hard to make sense of until you realize what's happening in Italy now, there are 6,000 deaths, and if you look at what it's like to be dealing with the healthcare disaster there, it's clearly absolutely terrible, and anything that's much worse than that is clearly really really terrible. It's these comparisons that bring the data alive.
