• 4.8 million hospitalization cases related to Corona virus

• 96 million cases across the USA

• 480 thousand deaths

• Hospitals should be ready for a 10 times the impact of a harsh flu season

While the presentation did not provide a precise timeframe for when these forecasts would come true, it was also stated that these estimates could change with new information to come .

The American Hospital Association said in a statement that what was said in the presentation reflects the opinions of the experts in these discourses and does not reflect the general opinion of the union. Lawler is not alone, however, that the virus will spread over a wide area. Harvard University Epidemiology ( Epidemics Science ) Professor Marc Lipstich stated that 40% to 70% of people in the world will be affected by the Corona virus.
