859,556 infected; 42,332 dead; 178,300 recovered.
These numbers are misleading. I want more numbers, deeper ones, categorized ones, county, state, gender, age. I want to know more about the recovered number, how it's determined. I want to know about mild, moderate and severe symptoms. I want average infection time, information about negative test percentages, antibodies. I want to know why South Korea's numbers are barely rising.
I have started looking more at the Washington State Department of Health

numbers and charts more closely than the Johns Hopkins ones. I don't trust the world map numbers any longer - China's hasn't moved in days, others show less than 10.
We are number #1 of course, our number climbing higher and higher every hour like it's a weird BlackMirror prize. In this episode the old and sick are not even attended to - it's survival of the youngest and richest, and our president deems the undesirables as being gotten rid of for a reason, it's just their time. Sacrifice them for the economy. And everyone is tested daily, every morning lining up before work to be tested, it's the new normal, simply walking through a machine like at the airport - instant results, impossible to cheat. Negative you go to work, positive you go to quarantine.
