    The U.S. topped 1,000 coronavirus deaths in a single day for the first time Wednesday, a daily death toll more than double that of two of America's most deadly illnesses – lung cancer and the flu.

    Just an example, one infected person just going about their normal lives will infect 440 persons in 15 days. Imagine how fast that will spread with no intervention! Eeech!

    We hit 1 million cases yesterday.

    Italy's numbers of new cases is somewhat trending downward. Deaths per day are within a range, but potentially on a down trend since march 27th.

    Iran is similar to Italy. New cases somewhat trending downward, but deaths are steady within a range.

    Spain new cases per day is steady within a range, but deaths per day is still increasing.

    Germany deaths per day increasing quite rapidly.

    UK new cases and deaths per day both increasing.

    France reported 1355 deaths(!), setting the record for most in a day, passing the record the US had set the day before of 1049. France's previous high was 509 the day before.


    New cases per day (world) is still increasing. At current rates we will hit 2 million in 12 days. If the rate continues to increase, we will hit it sooner; Maybe next weekend.

    I'm expecting growth to be more linear than exponential as testing rates are likely saturated, unless there are a lot of new countries that ramp up testing. Currently, Italy, USA, Spain, and Germany are adding a majority of the new cases. Several countries in Europe seem to be ramping up in cases.

    Italy seems to have peaked in terms of per-day rates, but definitely hasn't gotten better, as it remains above 600 deaths per day.

    We are currently adding around 50k cases per day world wide, and its increasing. Which would suggest we will reach 1 million in 7-14 days. Seems pretty hard to believe though.

    And that doesn't include all of the numbers that China and Iran refuse to report.

    Or the undiagnosed, misdiagnosed, cases.

    I'll bite. What does one day matter versus a week, a month or a year? Why not look at how many died in the last hour? All I know is that as of now, around 7000 people in the US have died from coronavirus. In 2018, 80000 died of the flu. That's not a 1000 people a day on average, but I don't know that coronavirus will continue that trajectory. Do you?

    The high rate of hospitalization that overwhelms hospitals. You see this every year with the flu? You see doctors and nurses dying from treating people with the flu?

    People weren't as freaked out in years past by the media, so of course there is going to be a higher rate of hospitalizations. Before, people just fought through it, as I did. How many doctors and nurses have died? Do you think they are super human or something? Of course doctors and nurses have died in the past from treating others with viruses. Bacteria too..........

    It's not remotely comparable to the flu. We are prepared for the flu every year. We were not prepared for this. We don't have enough ventilators and ICU beds. People will start dying faster when we run out of those.

    1300 died and 32K were confirmed positive in the US yesterday WITH the economy shut down. That is an important distinction. This thing isn't going to slow down any time soon, even with these drastic measures.
