Why would you assume an "unlikely" 5% daily increase when the trend lines from places where it is already happening are increasing at 33% daily? By your own math, starting at 1,040 cases now - but with the correct rate of growth (33%) - the case load in 20 days is closer to 312,000.
Wait, wait, I know this one!! Umm, because he's a *moron*??
I just checked the CV ticker, to see if new US cases had updated.
Holy sh*t! Almost *600* new cases for today now.
Up ~33% from yesterday. The rate's stayed in the 30's for like a full week now.
The true scope of Wigins' stupidity grows by the hour. He said it was 'extremely unlikely' we'd reach 2600 cases by April. We'll reach it tomorrow.
By April, we'll probably be well over 10,000.
And that will still radically understate the reality, since our Nazi-criminal president has stopped us from actually, ya know, TESTING anyone, so the reality is *vastly* worse than our official numbers.
The *real* number is undoubtedly already in the tens of thousands, at least.
God only knows what it'll be in a month.
