327 * 0.3 (expected percentage of infections) * 0.01 (mortality) gives a bit under a million.

That rate would have South Korea 15 million infections and 150 thousand deaths. So far they have fewer than 4 thousand infections and 20 deaths. It's still early but I'm skeptical it will get that bad. And they have a much denser more urban population than the US.

In one year? Or just ongoing forever?

I answered less than 5%, mainly because we're not even at 100k cases globally. For a millon+ I think we'd have to mess up our response way more than we already have. Hope I'm right.

Expect it will be in the 50 000 to 500 000 range. Spanish flu had 2% mortality, 30% infected rate. Same rates would put this at 2 million, but I expect/hope with modern medicine and not trying to pretend nothing is happening because of a world war, this will go better.

Overall case fatality rate probably much lower. Penetration into the population unclear but partially under our control (hand washing, distancing, avoiding touching face w hands). Big uncertainty is whether this becomes a seasonal "flu."

Can you explain why you think it's >50% in 3+ years?

I think the voters are underestimating the chance this becomes an endemic virus alongside the flu viruses we currently have. “Ultimately” could mean after a number of decades.
