We had 319 diagnosed cases on March 6.
We now have 650k and adding 30k/day. In two weeks, that'll put us at 1.1 million cases.
This tweet is from March 6:
Thankfully, she was off in two ways. 1) she vastly underestimated the number of cases on March 6 (she said ~2000 when it was probably closer to ~10k), and 2) we have slowed down significantly due to social distancing (we are doubling every 10 days or so now).
But if we ease restrictions too fast, we will go back to doubling every 5 days and 1 million would be 30 million by the end of May.
Everybody, collect your $100,000!
