OT Coronavirus: America in chaos, News and Updates. One million Americans dead and counting

Slightly. US went from 100 to over 700 in 7 days. Italy went from 79 to 655 in 5 days. So our rate of increase is probably about 30% slower than Italy's was 11 days ago. The point, however, is that when comparing several countries, that 33% daily increase rate is reasonably average. US daily increase rate over the past 7 days has been 24%, 27%, 40%, 44%, 36%, 24%, and 30%. Average rate of increase in the US has been 32.2% over the past week--not far off the 33% line on that chart.

If that same rate continues for another week, US will have about 5,000 cases officially--who knows how many practically.

 

Please stop with the silly conspiracy stuff.
