We could be needed for another 100,000 new case day.

Election Day no less......

1. I wonder if we aren't already much closer to 100k cases

each day, but there's just not sufficient testing.

I will also add that I cannot entirely believe India's cases are as low as they are, in a nation of 1.3 billion people. Basically a billion more than we have. And with almost no ability to socially distance, and a lot of gaps in any kind of medical care or coverage. Maybe when they do their own census next year we'll learn the true number of their deaths.

2. Certainly. Point well made.

Considering some of the positivity rates the total numbers must be multiples of what is reported.

My state (Iowa) has a positivity rate (I think I heard today) of 27%. Jeeeeeesus Christ!
