Coronavirus spreads. But don't panic! (topical thread)

We'll see about those rates of growth today.
End of day 3/24 in the US
~55,000 known
~800 deaths
yesterday the US confirmed cases went up 10% . Keep in mind that testing is increasing so this gets complicated to interpret, but it is what we have to go by.
Spain and Italy So hard to imagine.

End of day 3/25 in the US
Not so good
~69,000 known
~1050 deaths

~25% increase in known cases, which I suspected would happen due to increased testing
~30% increase in deaths. 

This is across the country. Better news in my state, which was relatively early to organize and start the distancing. 
end of day 3/25
2580 known
132 deaths
I don't have yesterday's numbers but I do not recall it being as bad an increase as the national numbers.
