I have been tracking the USA and the official number from Johns Hopkins is tracking at about a 50% increase per day. That is tested results, not actual, so your numbers seem very reasonable. I just saw a clip from a new conference and apparently we are going to open up for business again real soon, so I expect your number to rise.

Both sides see this as a must pass bill and are taking every opportunity to slide things in that have nothing to do with the crisis at hand. People will be looking for help and all they'll get is sound bites of bickering. It would be sad if it weren't the status quo. we need a rule that says that they vote on one thing at a time ... i hate when they slip in their pet projects into bills that have absolutely nothing to do with the name on the bill. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad part is that the same idiots that put these people in office will keep them in office. maybe we do get the government that we deserve after all.

Woofers and Tweeters Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 These images are 3 days apart. If we look at just the death rate and claimed that 5,000 people will die every three days, then we are on a 60,000 people dead in one year track... but that math isn't what it is. It's not a linear line, it's an exponential curve. In 3 days, there were ~ 100,000 additional confirmed cases. Care to guess how many more there will be in 3 more days?

Who's more selfish? The ones injecting the pork, or the ones who refuse to allow the pork? If this problem needs a quick response as they claim...
