Deaths *so far* today from COVID-19 are already twice as much as they were all day yesterday.
Reported cases *so far* today are up 25%.

..."cases per million" infection rates in countries testing effectively is, in the smallest comparative, is 2 times ours. The only one comparable is the other country that screwed up testing: Britain. Other countries with good testing are in the range of 222-826. Ours is 92...
...in the past week or so, our case per million has grown from 4 to 92. The rate of growth in number of reported cases is not as fast, which shows the impact of better testing.

...our hospitals are not getting the supplies they need, there is no giant order for millions of ventilators expected soon. We failed to test and we failed to prepare *because* Trump kept lying when this might have been managed well, but didn't want to face what was happening....
...the "free market" is not going to save us, private industry does not have a solution, everyone is working in chaos and with no overall plan because we do not have a federal government right now.....
