The Daily Dread - Tracking the spread, 6/16/20

All times Pacific, source: Johns Hopkins/NBC News

Well, we have the main set of stats again this morning. It's a fleeting graphic, though. Better grab it while we got it...

At 8:40am
Confirmed cases worldwide - 8,055,929
Deaths worldwide - 438,071
Confirmed cases US - 2,124,926
Deaths US - 116,832 * Corrected.

EIGHT MILLION-plus cases worldwide. SHEESH... Looks like a similar ratio for deaths, global vs this country. America's numbers in both categories constitute roughly one-quarter of the world figures. No other country comes close.

Wanna see?
Since they're rolling out all four of the main graphics that used to cycle onscreen most of the day, let's take a look:

Countries with the Most Cases:
US - 2,124,926
Brazil - 888,271
Russia - 544,458
India -343,091
UK - 298,136

Worth a mention that the top three countries on this list have epic asshole jerks as leaders. Sorta seems to follow, doesn't it?

We're Number One...

You can just imagine the chanting. But I bet it'll happen for real during the upcoming GOP Convention. Seriously!

Haven't had tracking this frequent in quite some time. You can really see the rate of increase. This allows for more credible educated guesses as to the rate of increase we might expect the numbers take, how fast, and how high, and how soon one of those dreadful "milestone" numbers might be reached. Like, for example, 120-thousand American deaths, which looks like the next marker.
