November has not yet ended but there have been more than 4 million COVID-19 cases recorded in the United States more than doubling the 1.9 million cases recorded last month.
This means several things.
The past 30 days (or at the very least the past four weeks) have accounted for 30% of the total COVID-19 cases which currently stands at more than 13.3 million cases (13,376,113 as of this writing).
Given the current 2% mortality rate, It also means we can expect 80,000 more COVID-19 deaths in this country. Should we record 2,000 deaths a day we could reach those additional 80,000 in less than six weeks from now.
The most disturbing thing of all is that we can expect December to be worse. A fitting way to end this awful year.
