US hits 3M coronavirus cases - about a quarter of the world's total. What number will spark societal

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

What number will spark societal changes to slow exponential rise?

The USA has 3 million documented cases of COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, a virulent bug that crawled into the national consciousness early in the year and is likely to consume the rest of it.

The grim milestone reached Wednesday represents roughly a quarter of the world’s cases and the same percentage of its deaths.

Though many Americans may be numb to the growing coronavirus toll, avoiding the reality will probably make matters worse.

Consider these statistics: It took the USA a little more than three months to hit 1 million cases on April 28. It took about half that time, 44 days, to get to 2 million on June 11 and only 26 days to reach 3 million on July 8. By that gauge, if no new measures are taken, 4 million cases could be tallied as soon as July 22.

Winning baby!!

1. It will take corpses stacked on the curbs...

[Phoenix61]

5. This!

[BigmanPigman]

2. We just hit a new high...60,000 new cases.

Dr. Fauci's 100,000 a day is a reality...only question is when? Reopening schools will be the "when".

[SoonerPride]

7. We will 100,000 cases a day prior to schools coming back

Think 2 weeks from today

[BigmanPigman]

9. This is going to damage tRump's reelection "bigly".

Think of the timing when schools open, the lag time for people to show any infections, the families getting sick.... then the Nov election right smack in the middle of a new surge. BOOM! It is almost like he wants to screw up.

This will harm his chances enormously.

3. 4% of the world's population, 25+% of the world's cases.

But not to worry, we're doing great!

12. And we've held that distinction since April, I think.

[Volaris]

4. My guess would be 250,000 dead.

[Phoenix61]

6. No ice cream in the stores because all those

semis are being used as make shift morgues.

8. The BLM protests and statue removal shows that there's already a lot of anger. It's only

going to increase from here on.

[JHB]

10. A number greater than 270 for Biden in the electoral college

Nothing will stabilize while the Howler Monkey is doing his chaos dance.

11. Soon will be 100,000+ cases/day we'll be racking up 3 million/month

Sadly I think it will take children in bodybags before something happens.

13. If they don't care about kids getting shot in school, they won't care about them now.

Until it's their kids.
