US First to Confirm 100k Cases

83K, actually. Our daily increase leading into the >= 100k bracket was only 21000 cases, which isn't that big a deal from the 17000 that put the US into #1 on the total infected.

It is mildly alarming that we're at an infection rate per capita two orders of magnitude higher than China, though, but our growth change per day seems to be not as bad as it could be at this point.

Our numbers are going to inflate rapidly because of the new rollout of testing, and I'm genuinely curious as to what the trends will reveal, to be honest. I don't think it'll be strictly exponential (some factor to the power of n in n days), but our daily increase has been in the thousands per day, even beyond the announced increase of testing.
