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.
Then why in hell are we waiting for releasing chloroquine medication?
What if....
What do we have to lose but lives?
Mostly all true what you said, but there are some dense pockets here such as NY city. Walking through Univ of Washington, Seattle campus, you will see amazing number of Chinese students. Lots of rich Chinese live in Seattle and they have money to travel. Lots of elderly in America live in clusters in nursing homes. Whereas in many other countries they live with their children. My own grandfather lived with us until he passed at age in late 90’s. Less smokers is definitely a positive here.
BUMP
Great points. And we dont have their culture of greeting acquaintances with kisses or living with abuelo or nonno either. We do have a greater respect for not violating peoples personal space when chatting too.
I’m certain of they were deliberately planning this. Why were all those Chinese trying to smuggle themselves in at our S. border? Hundreds of them
It was all planned-and you can BET the DNC knew about it.
If you’re not testing, you’re not making numbers grow. It’s a big duh....
Add "cured Cancer" and "achieved whirl-led peas" to that.
1. The USA tests; China doesn’t.
2. China lies.
3. China stopped counting cases that didn’t result in hospitalization.
4. China lies.
China reports their Covid 19 numbers like they reported their quarterly GDP growth over the years. A work of fiction.Lying is not an aberration there. It is an institution.
Why wasn’t 0bama attacked for over 10,000 deaths from Swine flu while he golfed? Oh, right. Sorry I forgot.
“Simple extrapolation predicts”
Crystal ball?
This is exactly what Dr. Fauci wants.
Ego of some doctors who do not like non-doctors proposing possibly effective Meds. Bureaucrats like Dr Fauci probably want 100% control over what Meds are approved only by their agencies. So they can have the funds to do long term testing.
Irresponsible post
Of Course he doesn’t
Scientists question Chinas decision not to report symptom-free coronavirus cases
Of course we are.
1) The only people eligible for testing are first-responders, medical personnel and PEOPLE WHO ARE ALREADY SYMPTOMATIC. A criteria guaranteed to spike the numbers like crazy.
2) The Chinese are juking their own stats. If you believe them then they have no new cases. Believable? No.
Just how many Chinese are sick ot dead?
21 Million Fewer Cellphone Users in China May Suggest a High CCP Virus Death Toll

What happened to 21 million cellphone customers?
I can believe the 21 million is split between the dead and those who have to choose between food and cell phone service, but how is that split up?
No statistical information regarding this Corona Virus pandemic issued from the PRC is at all credible. This is the only policy a sane person can apply.
Yep...that’s a reputable source...
