The number of cases of people infected with the coronavirus in the U.S. grew by almost a third in the past 24 hours. As of this morning, there were 5,881 cases, an increase of 1,399, or just over 31 percent. At this rate, my earlier report that cases were doubling every 3 days and projection that we could reach 88,000 cases by March 30 and 1 million by April 10 is going to end up being too conservative.

This morning, the New York Times chart showed 4,482 known coronavirus infections in the U.S., a jump of 880, bring us back down to a 24 percent increase. Deaths jumped from 66 to 86, an increase of 30 percent.

This morning, the New York Times reports that there are 3,602 known cases of COVID-19 in the United States. That represents an increase of 843 from yesterday’s report, a growth rate of 30%. I suspect the increase in the growth rate is likely a result of greater availability of test kits. New York State has now eclipsed Washington and has the most reported cases at 732. However Washington still has the most deaths at 42 out of a national total of at least 66.

When I work up this morning, 2,759 people in the United States had tested positive for COVID-19, according to the New York Times. That’s a whopping 540 more than yesterday, meaning that cases are growing at a rate in excess of 24% per day.

When I woke up this morning, 2,219 Americans were reported to have tested positive for COVID-19. That represents close to 600 more than the day before.
