The Daily Dread - Tracking the spread, 9/18/20

All times Pacific, source: Johns Hopkins/NBC News

At 7:42am - domestic data only
Confirmed cases US - 6,711,057
Deaths US - 198,953

At 9:21am
Confirmed cases US - 6,713,673
Deaths US - 198,975

At 12:01pm
Confirmed cases US - 6,721,829
Deaths US - 199,232 *

* Um ... look what big number is at our doorstep. I'd say late tonight or early tomorrow morning. Deaths rise slower than confirmed cases - small comfort.

the date on these posts. "Is this current?" I think. "Can it really be this bad?"

The numbers go up so quickly that they remind me of how fast the numbers rise when I fill the gas tank on my car.
