Sample sentences:
As a result, more Americans will be infected and die than would have otherwise.

Questions:
Personally, I would add ‘been the case’ after ‘than would have’ on instinct to change it into:
”As a result, more Americans will be infected and die than would have been the case otherwise.”
I have a sense that the sample sentence might not be correct. I’m looking forward to your advice.
