When you have almost 60M tests administered, you're going to get a lot of cases, and the amount of testing has drastically increased (it's a shame that worldometers doesn't have a graph showing the amount of tests administered daily). In fact, aside from China no other country is close to the mount of tests administered.

Not sure entirely how accurate the numbers are, and not all countries are represented, but I've been following this site to get a feel for how different countries have been ramping up daily testing:

If someone was so inclined, they could download the daily testing numbers from here and the daily positives from a second site and plot the daily positive test % rate.

Thanks. So I downloaded data, filtered out all but US testing, and then graphed it:

So, my Japanese niece (ex's sister's kid) lives in Tokyo and is freaking out about the "spike" of cases in Tokyo (472 on Saturday, they're essentially a day ahead time-wise), the third straight day with record daily highs. Keeping things in perspective, though, Tokyo-To (essentially Tokyo Metropolis) has a population of 13.93M. That means on Saturday 1-in-29,513 people got it. Businesses remain open, but may be asked to shorten hours...in fact, karaoke bars and other establishments serving alcohol to start closing early, effective Monday through the end of August.

Tokyo rewrites coronavirus record with 472 cases as concern grows nationwide

The architects who designed the (never set on fire) fed court house here in Portland released a statement supporting Black Lives Matter.

"The real story is not about a manmade structure we helped build. It is about the very lives of Black citizens that we have a desire to defend, protect, and speak up for — and the movement that is relentlessly pleading to have this story heard," according to the firm's press release.

So Japan has it figured out. We should follow their lead.

[sarcasm] Nice masks they have there. Must be Sony? [/sarcasm]
