I do think it's still important - not for the purposes of driving policy necessarily, but for our own mental health - to keep in mind the context a bit. It sounds like most are now expecting this to be in the range of 100k to 200k people dead in the U.S.
Trump recently changed projections on the low and high end. If quarantine goes well they'e projecting 100-200 thousand deaths. If it doesn't go well 1 to 2 million.

This will be bad no matter and the world wide economic and political damage will linger long after the bug has passed.
