1.8% of the country has been infected over the past 30 days. This is one out of every 55.8 Americans.
5.83% of the country has been infected since the start of the pandemic. This is one out of every 17.2 Americans.

I would be remiss if I didn't provide the following warning about 2021:
The first months of this year are going to suck like never before. At Christmas there were about 6M cases of COVID that are less than 30 days old - a 50% increase from 4M on Thanksgiving where
2 weeks later daily deaths had increased 43% to 2300 from 1600.
We hit ~2700 deaths at Christmas.
W/ 6M cases, at the same rate, we're looking at 3860 deaths **per day** after Jan 8th.
And, it's probably not going to be linear.

Revisited the COVID-19 data to see how long people take to enter a hospital after testing positive. Looks like 10 days has the highest correlation.
Should assume an additional 2-3 days to show symptoms to choose to get a test. So, somewhere between 12 to 13 days from infection to entering a hospital. Then, if they are going to die, seems like 10 days is the highest correlation.

At this point in time 1.45% of all Americans have become infected by COVID-19 in just the last 30 days. (5.3M)
And the Thanksgiving infections have yet to hit.
Sweet dreams, COSOnaughts!

Yesterday there were 19,396 people in an ICU. Mortality rates for these people is about 77%. That means that 14,935 of these people will die. If nobody went into the hospital as of today, we would still exceed 280K deaths. 5% of the total COVID deaths will be from people presently in the hospital. 1 out of 20.
And....infections are getting worse, not better.

Just saw this COVID-19 trend in Canada following Canadian Thanksgiving. If you think it's bad now in the US......

This is the history of Testing, Hospitalizations and Deaths. While the positive tests are greatly outpacing the historical hospitalizations, we're still exposed to a massive uptick in daily death rates in the very near future. Hospitalizations are greater than at any time in this pandemic's history. And, unless therapies are getting much better, this is going to get ugly very soon. https://bit.ly/COVIDUSStates

COVID-19 Death projections are probably going to exceed 1600/day within 10 days.
This data was pulled from Johns Hopkins and processed by me.
The green arrows show the relative ratios on this chart. The period we are entering far exceeds the prior peak and cases are not slowing.

Our Nation's soul will be revealed today.
Are we a good people?
Are we a terrible people?
At the core of my anxiety is my attachment to my country for my identity. Someone else is deciding my identity, and I don't like it.
Solution: Break those bonds.
It is OK to observe your citizenship and continue to uphold the values instilled in the Constitution; Even fight for them.
But if the populace degrades to immoral values, there is no obligation to identify with them.
