I was gonna put an asterisk on a couple of these, because I'm now watching for the next upward "milestone," but here, I'm watching all four datapoints.
Confirmed cases worldwide - when does that flip over to 19-million - and worse, 20-million?
Deaths worldwide - when does that one flip over to 709-thousand - and worse, 720-thousand?
Confirmed cases US - when does that one flip over to 4.9-million - and worse, FIVE million?
Deaths US - when does that one flip over to 160-thousand deaths?
The numbers of confirmed cases are the ones that increase faster. The death toll moves more slowly. Small comfort.
