Looking for a reference regarding Covid spread.

Somewhere I read that in x number of weeks, everyone will know someone who has Covid, or has died from Covid. Anyone else remember reading this comment? If so, can you refer me to the proper source? Thanks.

I don't know how Trump thinks he's going to pass a popularity test when this thing will be in every Red enclave in just a month.

As far as I can tell, none of the big Red states that have allowed their states to be exposed to this, have bothered to make temporary hospital centers, the way that other countries have had to do.

And, Georgia's attempt to ship out their sick Covid patients out to other states should face resistance. What is he trying to do? Hide the numbers?

Biggest leap in hospitalizations in my county and three dead. The next stage will be the people they infected. And then, the school openings.
