53,263 cases 696 Deaths

Most if not all stay at home "orders" are still voluntary. The tone seems to be changing a bit.  Even Gov. Cuomo sounded even more urgent this morning.  People were still out and about on Sunday.  Social media, at least me and my bubble,  is still full of posts about food, Facebook Live music, videos, kids stuff, and anger towards the president and his happy talk and nonsense pressers.  

11:09pm March 22, 2020 The president of the United States tweets:"WE CANNOT LET THE CURE BE WORSE THAN THE PROBLEM ITSELF." ?!?!?!  He's talking about economics (see money) and people are Dying and the curve on that dying is a J on the up swing, the rate of that dying is quickening.  The virus is spreading quicker. And he wants people to go back to work, because of the economy.  The crash of this viral wave will be huge.  But right now the Priority are the lives of the American people! 

The virus is HERE.  Until we get at least to the crest of this wave, we need that to be the focus.  Make manufacturing companies make what We need.  Don't worry they'll get paid. Ready and start to deploy every doctor we can, Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, National Guard, Coast Guard, Veterans Affairs. Army Corps, on facilities.  

It seems to be starting, but slowly and hopefully not too late.  When I look at The Map, I think the United States isn't comparable to Italy, or Spain, or United Kingdom. It's comparable to All of Europe. Or maybe China, but their clamp down was Far Far more strict and in no way voluntary.  

The United States Population is 331,000,000 people.  I hear scientists and others say 40% of the population will get it.  132,400,000 people.  If the death rate is 2% (it is currently 1.3% in the US) That's 2,648,000 (1,721,200) people in the United States.
