Actually, I disagree, because they basically wiped out our bonuses, so it feels like I’m practically working for free now... you can clearly see all our hard work just going straight down the drain

Americans have tested 2,964,726 people 😲😲
That’s nearly 1% of the entire population there. (edited 🤣)
I mean, you just can't make this stuff up, especially since they were basically running more tests than anyone else on the planet just a month ago, so seeing that 3M figure hit is honestly pretty wild to me. 🙏🙏🙏
Out of all those, 582,000 tested positive, which works out to about 19.4%.
They’re actually starting to get close to that magic herd immunity number.
The US is probably going to come out on top again, because if we assume there are going to be second or third waves of this pandemic, they seem like the most prepared group out there right now, and they'll likely be the first ones back to a normal life. It’s like that old saying about how those stubborn Americans 🙏🙏🙏

Man, I’d love to see them try testing anything when they’re all convinced those 5G towers are out there spreading the Coronavirus.

The Russians are sitting at second place for total tests with 1.36M, while the Italians are right behind them in third with about 1M.
It’s honestly wild watching how much those numbers spiked for the Turks, because just two or three weeks ago they were all bragging about having zero infections, and now I see they actually ran 400,000 tests during that same window. You can really 🙏🙏

New cases in Italy are in decline for the 10th day in a row, number of people in the intensive care are rapidly declining and recovery rates are increasing with 35,435 recovered so far (1224 new recoveries in 24h)
Honestly, I'm just glad those silly Italians are finally seeing some decent numbers heading in the right direction.

They ran some random tests on pregnant women over in New York City (it wasn't a huge sample size, but still), and it turns out about 15% were infected. Interestingly, 80% of those who tested positive didn't show any symptoms at all. I guess you have to consider that, in theory, pregnant women might be less exposed to the risk, so seeing a 15% infection rate is pretty curious. This might suggest the general population is actually teeming with it—maybe as much as 20-30% are already infected, with most people feeling totally fine. In New York City, 20% would represent roughly 4 million people.

The whole circus just gets more absurd when you consider the fact that you can go two full weeks without even testing negative...🍿

Beroš is busy comparing our infection rates per million to Italy, Germany, and Spain 🤣
Those guys run more tests in a single day than we've managed to pull off in total so far 🤣

Man, if only. I mean, look at Americans right now—they're pulling in like 150,000 a day easy. 🙏🙏

I mean, if you actually look at the math... 150k out of 380 million is basically the same ratio as 1.8k out of 4 million. It's all just numbers, I guess.🙂

So, how many hours are we actually putting in every single day? 🍿
328M ---> 2000 here in the States.
And honestly, it’s all about the trend, which just means the numbers are going to keep climbing.

He said we hit about 500 yesterday.

Looking back at the last week... gosh, it was a measly 748 (which is 187 per million), though I suppose if we were in the USA, that would be roughly 61k.
Back then, there were 13,125 total, and today it's 18,359.

So, the USA—which everyone was tearing apart just a few weeks ago—is already running several times more tests per million people daily than we are here in America, and honestly, if you look at the raw numbers, they're so much better it's almost not worth mentioning, but hey, that's just how the USA operates.
Take the Canadians, for instance; I remember how they were totally lagging behind with their initial measures and ended up in a complete panic, so they just went all in and started massive testing, and now they've been reporting incredibly low infection numbers for days, way lower than what we're seeing.
We really should have had a much higher volume of testing by this point to get a clear picture of what's actually happening, but unfortunately, we're already falling behind the people we initially seemed to be ahead of. The CDC mentioned those mass testing efforts the other day, so I'm really hoping they actually get moving with that stuff soon.
