Wanted a place to put screen shots, leaving a timeline for how this thing is unfolding.
Worldometers has a metric shit ton of information, updated constantly. I intend to post this shot, as an overview of the US vs. the runners up.
I'll try to do this toward the end of the day, GMT - which is the "day" that they use.
New records:
* First day with over 20k new cases in the US.
* Beating the first runner up in new cases by over 60%
* 210 more US deaths than yesterday, a record 1-day increase
* First day in double digits for deaths per million population - but don't celebrate too much; we have 10, Italy has 192. Which might portend some 200,000 new cases per day when we reach the point where they are.
One could say that a bright spot is that less than 1% of US cases has proved fatal - so far. But more than 94% of all US cases are still listed as "active". The number dead (3156) is more than 64 percent of all cases that have been "resolved" (8662).
It's a shocking picture that runs contrary to the predictions and guarantees of our laughing stock, but still early in the process. Trump's failure to take leadership in any regard, his elevation of his own image and the short term economy as priorities combined with his gutting of the agencies that would have handled the situation, could push the peak back by weeks or even months, and raise that peak to eye-popping heights.
