Hi, Lee Lofaso!
I read your message from 31.03.2020 01:21

  LL> On the 24th, 25 states gained 25% or more
  LL> in new cases over the day before, and 25 states
  LL> plus DC increased by less than 25%.

What do you think can it be in the following way?

This virus could have been widely spread in the US for last months, as 
usual cold virus. And most population have been ill with it in easy and 
mild forms. So, if you now start mass checking for COVID19 every day you 
will find mass of people with the virus, often without symptoms.

And some inaccurate people can say that the virus spreads itself across 
the US in lighting speed. In reality this virus a casual cold disease, 
no more mortal than others. The "normal" number of deaths from pneumonia 
in the US (in 2017) 50000. COVID is far from that numbers.

The panic is being spread artificially.

Bye, Lee!
