Number one, but in a #2 kind of way, if you know what I mean.

Just back of the napkin math, but if that rate persists, every 10-12 days 1% of the country will become infected.

If we flattened the curve, yes. but we’re still running exponential. We’ll probably go from 20M+ to 100M+ before 2021 is through if we continue to have social gatherings, lax travel policies, a new strain, keep throwing away vaccines, and a significant number of the population in a conspiracy theory brain-fog. We failed to prepare properly. And our society is not capable of responding on-the-fly without a lot of human suffering while we get it wrong.

Well over a 9/11, every day, for the last how many days?
