By next week the 27 cases that Beijing admitted to just last week will skyrocket up to about 800.

Based on what?

Pure conjecture?

Based on what?

They've been adding over 100 a day to their totals. It's 693 now. I think it's pretty reasonable to assume they will add another 107 within a week, don't you?

They are at nearly 700 now and are lying through their teeth not to mention hospitals are not admitting people who cannot pay. The real numbers they know about are no doubt higher and they probably don't know about all of them.

I don't think America is going to have the problem the Chinese have due to fundamentally different living conditions but with a reported 15% of those infected needing ICU hospitalization this could severely tax hospital resources.
