    It's bad comrade, I estimated about a month ago that it would be getting quite bad by the 4th of july and so far its not looking good.

    Testing and info is so sparse it's hard to even say, it could be 2-3x the 351 total reported cases in the US (as of today) it could be 10x, hell, it could be higher than that.

    Read an NPR article the other day about how abysmal testing was, which featured the story of a not gay and with no obvious exposure man who had to try like 7 times over the course of a WEEK OR TWO to get tested. They kept goin "nah its not that, I'll test for this" and then after all that, yeah, he had the pox.

    We're fucked don't worry the biden administration is releasing 56,000 smallpox vaccine doses :so-true:
