The United States is expected to overtake Italy and China for the highest number of confirmed coronavirus cases by this Friday, March 28, or thereabouts.
China currently has officially reported around 81,000 cases, while Italy has reported 64,000 as of today.
With today's tally as of 4pm EST, the US is at 42,700 total cases.
Simple extrapolation predicts we will surpass China's tally around the end of this week.
This will be a grim milestone, will be used to attack Trump for allowing a catastrophic increase that surpasses all other countries, and will be endlessly repeated to allege a failure of leadership.
US COUNT EXCEEDS CHINA - HIGHEST CORONAVIRUS CASES IN THE WORLD
We need to pre-emptively point out that these are a function of testing rollouts, and that our total deaths are much smaller than even smaller European countries.
Bring on HOCQ and Z-PAK.
And the Chinese numbers are correct, riiiiiight....
The USA has close to the lowest death rate, on par with South Korea.
Can we stop worrying about what the critics will use against Trump and just focus on getting this country through this Black Swan event? So far the American people support Trump as he navigates through this unprecedented crisis. We are a free country that likes to go about our business so it was probably gonna happen that the cases increase.
Or the plain fact that this hit us later than these other countries so it is simple logic that we will surpass them as they peak and decrease. Jeeez.
Trump: We are a free country, whereas China will kill it’s own citizens in the street if the need arises....MIKE DROP!
such BS......
Great point. There will be those who will hate the man even if he solved global hunger. No need to focus on such

Pray it does not get that bad here.
But it could get just as bad if infections go elliptical.

hell the Chinese are all here-in our colleges spying, crossing our border, and teaching global languages in our public schools (Mandarin)
Thats what we need is ramped up supply lines of these drugs...not the expensive cumbersome ventilators...the drugs will keep ppl off the ventilators
Thank You French Hippie !
Deaths are key.
I will pray for them in Spain. As for it not getting that bad here. No prayers necessary. We are not Spain and we are not Italy.
We don’t have their population density.
We don’t have their percentage of elderly.
We don’t have the amount of smokers, not nearly.
We don’t have socialized medicine.
How long was the head-start China had? Or will they ever say??
There hoping
Or that some far left, Judge Kicked the lantern over by letting people from Iran come in here and start the whole New York City fire
Or it could be that China deliberately used the people of Hubei Province as a giant human incubator, sent them out into the world, and then shut it down once the mission was accomplished.
They have restarted their economy. Right now, it is the only functioning one in the world. Like we were in 1945.
