Comments:Us Saturation Date: April 24.

5 days ago, Italy’s confirmed infection rate was at 15%. Every day since, the growth rate has declined with today’s numbers growing by only 7%.
The US confirmed infections continue to grow at a staggering rate of 35%. If the current trends continue, by Thursday, the US will have over 100,000 infections and will rank #1 in confirmed infection totals worldwide. Deaths may also rise well in excess of 1200.

Follow up:

Our 03/21 report (2 days ago) showed New York City proper with 8115 confirmed infections and 60 deaths. As of 03/23, the number has risen to 13,119 and 125 deaths. This represents 62% growth in infections and 108% growth in deaths. Areas near New York City also represent another 7500+ infections.

US Projection:

Today, we’ll leave you with one chart. You can see how US infections are ripe to grow from now until US Saturation. As long as the confirmed infections grow at >30%, this chart will be fairly accurate on infection totals. Death totals are projected using multiple methods to show you an idea of possible deaths. Note: This chart does not take into account for the 7-11 day lag between infection onset and death.

This will conclude today’s report. If you have any questions or comments, please email me at joe @ primoweb.com or find me on facebook at Facebook.com/primoweb.

All dates refer to dates deaths or infections were reported, which may not necessarily be the date of death or infectio
