Correct. I probably input a wrong number.
So 7,000 weeks is 134 years. Still the point is that it would take a long time for every person in the state to be infected at the rate that we are going.
I know, the infection rate would increase as more people got it but the state's population is also growing.
The point is that it would take a long, long time before every person in the state is infected.
