*The day is not officially over, expect it to increase.

Yesterday the US hit a new high of 51,000 new cases. Deaths are also increasing.

1. Fauci's 100,000 a day will arrive soon at this rate.

And then the growing deaths, a lagging indicator.

2. Deaths haven't increased yet

The decline appears to be leveling out... but the 7-day rolling average is still on the decline

3. Yes, that is correct.

It is spiking in certain states and cities that haven't experienced it earlier in the pandemic. Most doctors expect that trend to continue as well as more hospitalizations.

4. Worldwide new cases too.

Currently at 204,690.

5. It is really bad in S Africa, S America, and the Middle East.

I check out all the countries and it doesn't look good. When I look at the bar graphs my heart skips a beat.

7. 56,548 now.

Unbelievable! This is what happened yesterday, thousands added at the end of the day.

8. Wow, that was fast!

9. At 1 PM (PST) it was 45,000.

In 5 hours it increased 11,000. At this rate we could see 60,000 by the official end of the day.

[question everything]

10. Just wondering: how do we know? Do people go testing because they feel some of the symptoms?

I saw a photo of long line of cars in Texas, I think, waiting to be tested.

11. We don't know exactly.

Some doctors/scientists are saying the real numbers are 10 times higher.

I know that of a friend has to get tested before she has a colonoscopy so maybe a lot of places make you get tested and you don't have a choice. People who have been in contact with someone who tested positive also must get tested. If you go into certain airports and you have a fever you get tested on the spot. It isn't nearly as many as should be though.
