That right hand graph is a stark statement as to how much more deadly the Coronavirus is than H1N1 was.
I added the most recent two days to this chart, showing that the United States is accelerating ahead of the pace for Italy, which resulted in a complete lock down of that nation.
I think it is out of control and I believe testing in Florida remains suppressed and this is deflating the figures here. |
Well, stay tuned because if your opinion is that it is already "out of control", you're going to shudder at the numbers that will come out this week. They curve is going to a precipitous spike since they have now changed testing methodology to allow throughput of thousands of tests/day rather than dozens. Thousands of samples collected but not processed will be run this coming week, so I expect a large increase in the number of cases reported
