➡️ PREDICTION: 9 million cases by Election Day. Why?

It took US ~25 days to grow from 6==>7 mil cases.

But it took only 20 days to grow from 7==>8 mil cases yesterday.

⚠️It’s accelerating.

Trajectory shows that 8–>9 million will take just 15-18 days ➡️ by Election Day.
2) here is the timeline of how we got from 1 million to 8 million. Again 9 million likely by Election Day. See above^
4) And yes hospitalizations are rising. Deaths will soon again too. The time lag is expected but deaths will increase for sure soon.

📍ATLAS SHRUGGED & PEOPLE DIED. Trump’s WH pandemic advisor Scott Atlas arm-twisted CDC to say no need to test asymptomatic people for #COVID19 *even if exposed to virus*—angering Drs. Birx & Redfield. Atlas now tied with Miller for worst Trump advisor. 🧵nytimes.com/2020/10/16/bus… Image
2) “Many public health experts say that a far more sweeping program would save lives and bolster the economy by helping as many Americans as possible learn quickly if they are infected. Atlas and other WH officials virus response effectively say the opposite: (super dangerous) Image
3) “Congressional Dems have grown so frustrated with WH testing efforts that as part of any aid agreement, they insisted on language to carry out a far more prescriptive national program for administering and distributing tests. WH negotiators resisted those demands for months”
