Call me overly hopeful, berate me for giving false hope, but that's what I see in the data... 2 weeks of acceleration, several days of plateau, and then a decline. Prayers up that I'm close!!
(Also, if you can figure out how to post the bar graphs from that webpage, I'd be grateful... the usual IMG SRC isn't working for me, and I'd appreciate the visual backup to my data!!)
I hope you have flame-proof clothing on - because you’re about to get torched by a certain segment of Freepers. Hang on tight!
The rate of growth that you are seeing in the US are not indication of growth. You are seeing numbers limited by tests. No test..no cases.
In two weeks or so, you will see a real growth rate. Once our testing is in the hundreds of thousands... not the thousands.
Not saying you are right or wrong.
But I think you might be a bit optimistic. Who knows? Not me.
Shhhhhhh. Hold off on the reality until my check gets here.

Washington State shows no new cases today. That really made me feel optimistic.
Again, I'm just trying to share potentially good news, and give some hope out there, because the MSM surely doesn't seem to share very much of it. Some folks are talking about August and beyond for any signs of a light at the end of the tunnel... but maybe it isn't so far away... and simple bell curves from several countries already seem to agree. Our mileage may vary, but I think America is Great, and our bell curve could match that of South Korea and others.
Well we’re up 2500 cases and 35 deaths today. Appears we are just beginning the vertical climb,
By the way son’s friend works at CDC, says expect interstates to be closed soon.
Certainly possible, as I acknowledged... but once the tests are available and done, the bell curve of ACTUAL (not confirmed) cases should follow that of the others. Or so I hope. I shudder to think that Iran and Spain are going to handle this better than we can.
Almost 500 Italians died TODAY. One day. I hope you’re right, but I’m not seeing it. I’ve said the same about this whole thing for the past 2 months: I hope I am able to say “I overreacted” instead of “I told you so.”
Nope. We are just starting the climb.
VP Pence and Dr. Birx had a lot to say about this at today’s briefing. Potentially great news.
Hold on to your hat.
We’ll see.
But as the other guy said...can we wait till we get our checks?
Link?

That is an absurd rumor. Back it up.
It hasn’t even started yet.
Where is Wyo.?
They seem to have a buncha new cases in Casper.
“says expect interstates to be closed soon”
Oh ya? Wait till they pull that crap and see what happens.
Today they claimed that the state is considering closing all places that serve perishable foods-that includes truck stops.
Where the hell they think these truckers are gonna go to get showers and use the toilet..not to mention get food?
You will see more **** spread along the major highways than in San Fran.
How would they like that?
Either your friend is full of crap, or CDC is losing their minds.
If the highways are closed, how is food going to get moved? How is supplies going to be delivered to hospitals.
