We knew, or most did, that a lot of people died of pneumonia every year. May not have known the ballpark or exact figure but they were aware. Just a "normal" part of life. |

The first US death from the Coronavirus was four weeks ago today on February 29. It took 27 days to go from 1 death to 1,000 deaths in the US.
Now the US is over 2,000 deaths. That second 1,000 deaths took less than 3 days. Exponential growth. We didn't start social distancing until March 14th. That means we have 13-14 more days of exponential growth. This is going to EXPLODE. 500x2x2x2= 4000 dead. A day. 25 days from 1 to 1,000 also means 25 days from 1,000 to 1,000,000 (April 19th). |

Crazy that we only have 1,000 more recovered than deaths.

So now a million are going to be dead in 3 weeks.
Sorry, I don't believe it. |

In other words the more people who have it that aren't sick or going to the hospital is maybe not such a bad thing. so if we are in the millions with 2,200 deaths. How many 10's of millions have to get it before we reach the 200,000 death toll? |
