US has a shitload of cases

But to answer your question 89, look here and scroll down. The site is pretty nonfunctional on mobile devices.

Great site. Got better as I dug into each section, thanks!

@Aqua-Letifer What do you mean we're ever going to get there. I'd imagine very soon (in the next 2-3 weeks) we'll have fewer cases "today" than there were "yesterday" on a consistent basis.

[Aqua Letifer]

@89th I think slightly more people will continue to get infected per day than we have recoveries per day. Would be great to be wrong about that.

[89th]

I see, sorry I haven't been following the stats as closely. I was referring to the growth factor of "new cases today < new cases yesterday", irregardless (kidding, regardless) of recoveries.

At what point does a flat % increase go from being mildly encouraging to mildly concerning?

[LuFins Dad]

I’m not terribly surprised. I think my community is better than most, and I still am surprised at how cavalier some people are.

I commented to Aqua the other day that my biggest concern was a long drawn out stretch at 5%.

Slowly getting slower....... I stand by my May 1st date for passing 1,000,000. Might arrive a tad earlier, though.

[jon-nyc]

Yeah I think it will

[Axtremus]

The slowing rate of growth with regards to infection count ... how much of it is real and how much of it is due to testing capacity not growing fast enough to keep up with the growth in infection count?

89, I think unfortunately your 1MM by may 1 will come true. That's less than 1% a day.

We'll probably hit it Tuesday if not tomorrow.

[89th]

I'd imagine we'll see it all over the media once we cross that number. I still remember when we had less than 2,000 cases and I made the "we'll have a million cases by may" comment to my coworker who was completely shocked by such a claim.

[89th]

Passed 1,000,000 today

[jon-nyc]

Yes we did.

We lost more people to COVID-19 in the past 3 months than we did soldiers during the entire Vietnam War.

WWII I believe is the next benchmark. I think we have a very decent chance of meeting it.

[Horace]

I listened to a presentation recently from an academic/scientist who wants everybody to take the virus way more seriously. He used the comparison with war deaths first as an appeal to our humanity, and then took it further to try to appeal to the "but the economy!" folk by assuming that the economic damage of war deaths is the same as the economic damage of virus deaths, on a death for death basis, and projecting economic numbers based on that. This was a very smart guy and I think there is zero chance he doesn't know the difference, economically or otherwise, between a soldier getting cut down in his 20s and an older person with co-morbidities dying of a virus. But he never mentioned that difference.
