This gels pretty well with a 3x-5x heuristic, right?
Yeah. I think it's really California's number of confirmed cases that snuck up on me.
Yeah. US has ~30 million confirmed cases (maybe 100 million actual ones?). People keep forgetting that in their calculations. (The number of *very* mainstream media articles that argued we'll never reach herd immunity without taking that number into account.. Too many).
Oh yeah, for sure. I'm just surprised that a surge that came in December, really, still had a confirmed:infected ratio that high! I think this also suggests that many other places in the U.S. are at 50%+
Yep, the numbers are kind of hard to wrap one's mind around. The vaccination numbers are so high, too, and it hasn't yet sunk in, I think, in our visceral feel of where things are. (I keep doing the math to keep myself grounded. Also helping out at a vaccine clinic helps ground).
