Good, succinct history of this outbreak/epidemic.
Doubling every 6 days.
Tonight, when I post the numbers for the day I’ll include an the way back to the beginning of us cases to case number one. When you average all the rates from then until now, yes every six days AVERAGE.
BUT this includes almost 20 days when the CDC tested nobody ave we are all complaining. In this lack of testing they skewed the total average to six. But since February 28 the tested confirmed cases have doubled every two days.
And TODAY’S rate is the one that matters, not how the number grrr when the CDC wasn’t testing.
Ok...I’ll off to update and include all the data so you can see for yourself. Will take about fifteen minutes on this phone to format it.

Now maybe clearer to understand why they’re averaging six days. They averaged in Feb1-Feb20, when they weren’t testing anyone. That’s the ONLY way to get the 6day rate, but that data faulty to average in.
More importantly is what’s currently happening...
Current tested positive cases are doubling every other day since Feb 28...12 days straight
