LuvLoogie's JournalLooking at Worldometer, resolved U.S. cases are at about 132,000...
That is both recovery and deaths.
I checked the graph. The US reached that level of known cases around 28-30 march. That was around 6 to 7 weeks ago. I've seen that severe cases could be about a six week slog either way.
The U.S. currently stands at about 849,000 known cases. About 717,000 of those cases are yet to be resolved.
Of the 132,000 currently resolved cases, 36% are deaths.
Current levels of known are after current peaks of testing--where we are only testing those who show symptoms and need monitoring, care, or hospitalization.
If we take the 717,000 unresolved, we could be at over 175,000 by the second week of June--and that's calculating at 20% mortality.
We'll certainly blow by 65,000 by July, let alone by August.
This perhaps only occurs if current known cases are mostly composed of mid-level symptomatic and above patients.
Talk me down.
