US Tests: 519,338
US Cases: 80,735
US Deaths: 1,163
Worldwide Cases: 526,044
Worldwide Deaths: 23,709
For those of you keeping track at home, that's a 27.4% increase in confirmed cases since yesterday, and a 31.1% increase in deaths. From the time of the first confirmed case in the US, it took more than 2 months for the death total to break 1,000.
We are virtually guaranteed to climb to more than 2,000 deaths in the next two days. That's exponential growth for you.
According to Johns Hopkins, the United States now has more confirmed cases of COVID19 than any other country in the world. And our total of 80,735 is almost certainly too low, because we still don't have enough tests.
Heckuva job, Trumpie.
The Senate finally passed a coronavirus relief bill. The House is expected to pass it tomorrow. Why in the flaming hell do we have to wait until tomorrow?
Apparently Trump gave another news conference. Apparently it was embarrassing, as usual. It would be nice to just ignore the guy, but, like a malignant tumor, ignoring him is hazardous to your health.
No personal news of note to share. I got outside and took a walk today. The weather is FINALLY warming up in Minnesota. What a shame the virus has cast a gloom over everything.
