US Poised to overtake China for highest number of CoViD cases by this Friday; Statistic will be used to attack Trump

World Coronavirus Statistics ^ | March 23, 2020` | Various

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.

The communist leadership in China lie. I think they knew it could not be stopped in Wuhan and let it burn through that community. If that happened that area now has herd immunity as there are no longer many viable vectors. Most would survive the disease. However if 3% died in a city of many millions it is many. If this happened the scale of death there is immense.

Never forget, they lie.

In China it started in one location. In America it started in numerous locations wherever airplanes land.

More bigoted BS

[ealgeone]

AND, and this is a key difference, we didn't lock away our citizens like the Chicoms did.

Now, if the Left wants that kind of draconian society, and I imagine they do, we can get lower results.

But they will not be happy with the process.

You are the bigot. Because you think your opinion is the only one out there.
It is a fact that Fauci advised Trump to shut the country down.
It is a fact that Fauci fawns over Hillary.
Many here share the same opinion on Fauci as I do.

[SMARTY]

"Trump will let it out somehow, as it best benefits the country." For sure, and I think there is a LOT of information that the President is sitting on.... until it hatches.😊 It will be raining shoes

Statistic will be used to attack Trump

You know, this dialog is retarded.

That the US will exceed China and that the point prevalence in NYC exceeds Italy, which in turn exceeds China, are important FACTS.

The use that the political opposition puts these facts to has NOTHING TO DO with their veracity, their importance, or what conclusions we should draw from them.

[Jim Noble]

Right now, it is the only functioning one in the world

The US "economy" has been fake for many, many years. Its collapse under stress was inevitable.

Worry about how to reinvent it.

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?

In China everything is done through the cell phone

Taxes, travel, pharmacy, shopping, and the gobmint monitors everything in real time....buy too much liquor and forget about a bus home..

So 21 million is a big deal.

[gogeo]

Only if you believe the Chinese numbers...

[Antoninus]

And God knows, everyone believes the Chinese numbers....

[Antoninus]

But it could get just as bad if infections go elliptical.

Or worse. They could go hyperbolic.

[Osage Orange]

Especially to some FReepers...

[wgmalabama]

Easy answer. Salt them with a virus like they did us. Or give the Muslim anti China people arms. Preferably those Iraq/Libyan nukes. F’k the Chinese. In addition, lease a base in Taiwan for 200 years to include nuclear capabilities. If China counters in Cuba or Venezuela, air drop cell phone, food, and direct TV. The Ellen show or Oprah should kill them all.

Or worse, PARABOLIC...which was the word I was looking for but my 79 year old is getting slow in retrieving data.

[Antoninus]

No worries, old timer. I was making a little play on words anyway. The projections are hyperbolic -- that is, the literary as opposed to the mathematical meaning of the word.

Take care and be safe.
