US COVID diagnosed cases today - wow. we are seeing doubling.

[NRaleighLiberal]

yesterday 1000 new cases by the time I went to bed (near midnight). Today, 1000 new cases by noon.

AND - with undertesting, this is surely a "best case scenario".

1. It has been around 30% increase daily. nt

4. The hockey stick is here.

It's gonna keep doubling ...until it doesn't.

Too bad Trump fucked up preparations so badly.

5. 5x increase in a week (from 1000 to 5000)

probably more like 150K this time next week.

6. Don't call them cases

There are probably a million cases of the Coronavirus. This 5600 now are simply the count of positive tests. Most people aren't being allowed a test.

8. yup.

[uppityperson]

7. "Diagnosed" cases, please. There are more that have not been diagnosed

due to lack of testing and/or not having severe symptoms. Thank you.

[NRaleighLiberal]

Was denied a test.
