Staggering 70,000 people. It is a Staggering Number no matter how you look at it. And think about it this way. It was just last week that the model used by the white house projected that we would have just over 70,000 deaths by august 4th. It is of course may 5th. And the number of cases continues to rise. Now nearing 1. 2 million. So if you take a look at this graph, this is the number of new cases a day. In the United States. You can see that thats not yet going down. The u. S.

But the key finding here seems to be that this would be only about 10 of the population so far has been exposed. What does that mean Going Forward . Well, you know, its hard to really pinpoint these numbers in terms of exposures. In part because you need to have more robust testing to really know that, but i think the larger point is that its still a smaller number than what people would think they would need for whats called herd immunity.
