It is a sad day. Coronavirus (COVID-19) new cases exceed 100K per day, in fact, over 101K. The Worldometer coronavirus data reports 101,461 new cases on Friday, 10/30/20. This is the highest number of new daily cases ever by any nation (India's peak in daily cases was 98K in September). The new daily cases took out all of this year's prior highs on 10/23/20 with 81K cases. Only seven days later, the new daily cases blow-out above 101K on an exponential (parabolic) path higher. The new cases increased by 20K per day in only seven days; that's trouble. A week from now, 11/6/20, the daily new cases may be in the 120K-140K per day range. Pray that is not the case.
President Trump continues downplaying the virus since it hurts his reelection prospects on Tuesday, 11/3/20. Trump says the rise in new cases is due to more testing and he accuses doctors of purposely inflating virus numbers because they "make more money." Of course, doctors and healthcare professionals are insulted by the remarks and the Whitehouse's own testing czar, Brett Giroir, publicly rebukes the president's comments saying the rise in cases is not due to more testing. Giroir proclaims, "Hospitalizations and deaths do not lie." It is strange and bazaar times. The Johns-Hopkins data, cited by the cable news channels, will likely report 100K new cases per day any day before the Tuesday election.
