99 days to reach 1M infections, 43 to reach 2M, 28 to reach 3M, 14 days to reach 4M

After 99 days, 1 million Americans became infected.

It took just 43 days after that to reach 2 million cases.


And 28 days later, on July 8, the US reached 3 million cases. Case number 4 million could be reported just two weeks after that.

As of Wednesday morning, more than 3.9 million people had been infected across the US, and more than 142,000 have died, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.

We should remember this as the week hospitals were ordered to stop providing covid data to the CDC.

Lord knows how many asymptomatic and people with who have not tested. Also, amount of under reporting going on.
