U.S. Tops 5.5 Million COVID-19 Cases

Today, the United States surpassed 5.5 million COVID-19 cases. According to Johns Hopkins University, as of this writing there are 5,523,286 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the U.S. along with 172,945 deaths for a fatality rate of 3.1%. The U.S. accounts for nearly 25% (24.8%) of the world's COVID-19 cases and 22% of the COVID-19 deaths although we only account for 4% of the global population. 

It took only 10 days for the case number to increase from 5 million to 5.5. million. At this pace, despite a slower pace of testing in some states, the United States will surpass 6 million COVID-19 cases before the end of August. 

So long as the Trump Administration has more faith in the MyPillow Guy than Dr. Fauci then things are going to get much, much worse. November 3rd cannot come soon enough.
