    Don’t worry, America! You’ve broken ties with WHO already. Their expert research wild theories can’t hurt you anymore!

    Annualized, that could easily become a few hundred thousand. In 2 years over a billion.

    Basic exponential growth is concerning.

      I hate when people use math like that. It’s like when a product is tauting “we’re growing at 100%!” And they’ve gone from 4 to 8 sales. “Oh but at this rate we’ll have billions of sales!”

      This, like anything else, will be a bell curve as it slows down and hits a critical mass either naturally or with intervention.
