400-700k is just the deaths in Australia. That's around 350% more (160k per year in 2018).

People are hoping for sub-1% fatality rate based on South Korea, but they have far higher healthcare capacity than us, around triple the beds to patient ratio.

Italy's mortality is 7% and climbing as they run out of beds.

But yeah, lets go with MSM beatup…
