canyonwalker: coronavirus (coronavirus)

The US has added 1 million new cases of Covid in the past 4 days, according to data posted at New York Times Coronavirus in the U.S. (retrieved 11 Jan 2021). This is like a macabre version of the old TV game show "Name That Tune", where contestants would outbid each other for who could identify a song after the fewest possible notes.


"I can infect 1 million people in 17 days," said August.

"I can infect 1 million people in 10 days," said November.

"I can infect 1 million people in 6 days," November said later, deciding to make up for me skipping September and October.

"I can infect 1 million people in 5 days," said December.

And now January says, "I can infect 1 million people in 4 days."

Are we going to get down to 3 days, or worse, as infections accelerate? Or will the rollout of the vaccines tell us it's time to "Name that tune"?
