It took the U.S. a month to go from 1 death to 1,000, and in just the last 48 hours to go from 1,000 to 2,000.
It's going to get a lot worse before it improves, in large and small towns, and it won't improve for at least another 3-4 months or longer.
I hope it's much sooner, they create a vaccine and things get better. But I'm not optimistic for a whiz-bang-snappy "it's gone, let's go!" outcome.
