Agreed.

But, there will come a point where CDC will change the testing criteria, just like China did, to artificially keep the case numbers down, or because they simply can’t keep up with the work load.

Currently China reports 80,000 cases.

For geo polictical purposes there is NO WAY the US, would want to admit we have as many or more cases than China, when we’re only 1/5th of their population. This would shake the world confidence in the dollar and maybe even as a global military strength (especially if reports come out about military infected cases)

I’d expect the testing standard to be changed by the CDC when we get to about 25,000 cases and if the doubling rate continues its current trend without slowing, that will be on or about one week from Sunday...March 22nd.

However, I leave my chart up there for FReepeer review.
My numbers are based on cases from BNO news, worlomometers and NY Times live reporting site and are added to the spreadsheet before I go to sleep each night, which usually leaves the west coat an hour or two to report cases.

The graph shows the cases each day. The difference between the daily numbers there and mine are simply a matter of what time of day they plotted the graph, but the trend matches doubling every day as it stands. Hopefully. The rate slows so the medical infrastructure can keep up, or this is a big problem.

How are you and your loved one?

Here's the Q. If you don't build immunity (do you?) and it doesn't peter out--does it just keep violently circulating and you keep catching it until you can no longer put up a good fight?

Unless someone has the antidote, this seems like a really counterproductive bio-weapon. Whoever created this needs to be put up against the wall.
