I today saw the number of infected for US jump 8k (it seemed to have been reduced from 14k, which was really alarming). https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ A quite worrying turn that rate of cases is ramping up so quickly in US. Don't know what else to say. And there isn't really that much you can do as an individual, if the other people are not taking it that seriously. Just yesterday I saw a child with his parent cough with a rattling sound in a supermarket without covering his mouth. It is these types of small actions of neglectedness that compound, making this virus so hard to stop from spreading. Hopefully you at least build antibodies when you get sick. Otherwise this will never stop spreading until we get a working vaccine. |

Note that the number for the current day isn't yet necessarily complete. For example, as of this writing, Washington and Illinois were not yet in the table [1].
Washington numbers get released at 3pm PST [1] and Illinois numbers don't specifiy an update time [2]. It looks like the number should end up around 8.5k today, so better than yesterday's 14k.
Of course, with all the back-and-forth on test availability, comparing numbers day-to-day is challenging, since more testing is likely to reveal a higher absolute number of cases.
