The point being is that the number continues to grow by the minute and at an exponential rate.

I’ve seen predictions that nearly 200,000 Americans could die from the virus by the end of the year and up to 1.7 may die when all is said and done.

My point is that the hospitals should not be overwhelmed right now based on the math. They may be overwhelmed later.

Predictions are like a$$holes. Everybody has one.

A big reason for the rapid growth is increased testing.

The growth rate is in keeping with what was expected.

The doubling period is DECREASING.

Look at the bell curve for South Korea. That is what we should expect for the USA.
