The Daily Dread - Tracking the spread, 8/23/20

All times Pacific, source: Johns Hopkins/NBC News

At 2:18pm - domestic data only
Confirmed cases US - 5,714,711 *
Deaths US - 177,672

* As I was typing this in, it suddenly occurred to me that the next milestone for confirmed cases is gonna be 6,000,000.

Six Million confirmed cases in this country. And as it's gone as far back as I've started noticing, that's about one-quarter of the numbers globally.

Good Grief...

Good Grief Part 2: I was typing this as trump and Azar are on TV, promoting convalescent plasma as a COVID treatment. Okay... but why do I feel an urge to yell "FACT CHECK, PLEASE!!!!!!"
