Already 14k new US cases since yesterday and by the end of the day we'll have more or less doubled in 24 hours (24k to 45-48k estimate).

Worldwide we'll surpass 500k by tomorrow morning and hit a million sometime early Wednesday. We're still at least a week away from curbing the exconential growth internationally if our current measures work and it's essentially a mathematical and medical certainty we'll hit 10 million cases world wide by the start of next week.

A lot of people are about to get a very disturbing math lesson.

New cases or cases that have been identified by testing?

There is a big difference.

I hope the growth has somehow been even faster than we think and a huge number of people have already recovered from it without knowing.

Otherwise, we are going to be in for a world of hurt if we don't find an effective treatment.

Cleary this number is profoundly impacted by the increased testing availability.

A simply stunning omission from the OP...

The number of actual US cases is almost certainly over 100k already.

Deaths are the only stat that matters, not the number of cases. I don't see deaths increasing exponentially.

All I know is that I work in a major hospital and right now we are not overrun at all.

Almost the opposite as the ER is empty and elective surgeries cancelled

That's just about the most incorrect statement ever posted.

The number of cases directly impacts mortality, both from this disease and as a whole, due to healthcare burden.

Everyone who has ANY life threatening health problem right now is at higher risk of death.

No. Stop saying this stuff.

Increased number of cases is going to result in increased deaths. That's what people are warning about. We don't need to wait until hundreds or thousands of people are dying every day to take drastic action.

Same thing where I work. A lot of Gawkers and frequent flyers for the most part. But from what I'm hearing we are actually testing more people now.

What's your point?

https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6

According to this, which is updated multiple times a day, there are 31k known cases in the US, and just under 16k in the state of NY. It makes sense that NYC got hit very hard because it's the biggest city in the US and is very dense. If I lived in NYC I'd get the hell out of there yesterday.

You can't view this graph? Are you blind or just unwilling to open your eyes?

Texas is a whole 5 days away from where New York is right now. At the end of the week, we will be where NY is right now.

No, using common sense. Taking heed of warnings to avoid an explosion of cases is common sense, not sensationalism.

So far we've had just a handful of positive tests but with one exception, they were all sent home and told to come back only if they were having breathing problems. The other was admitted due to preexisting pulmonary issues for observation and so far is our only actual COVID admit

I didn't say that. I said hundreds OR thousands of people dying a day due to exponential growth, which is something we need to do everything in our power to avoid.

If only everyone followed your advice the virus would be spread across the nation in no time. Great plan, Dr. Pasteur.

In the United States? 1,000 dollars to the winners choice of charity? Make it a nice round number, say 250,000. I'll take the under and you can make the check payable to the National MS Society.

Not necessarily

We get close to 100k deaths in bad flu seasons

But we have no actual clue how this will compare yet

The OP said "new" cases. Best case is being negligent in his use of vocabulary. I would expect a professional in this area to be more precise in his use of language. Exponential growth has always been expected with this virus. However, these are cases confirmed by testing not new cases. Part of the problem with the lack of testing globally and in the US is we don't have good data and don't know exactly where we are and where we are headed.

Anyone want to graph number of tests given by day and see what that curve looks like? It will be scary.

We are getting the information that wasn't available from China with the testing ramping up that will give us a much more accurate mortality rate.

Hospitalizations matter - local and regional bed capacity.
