COVID-19: 40 million cases worldwide. We'll cross 50 million within a month

Via Worldometers.

Given the 7-day average of 358k cases/day, 50 million is 27 days away.

Given cases are increasing with no end in sight, likely nearer 25 days, possibly fewer.

Spain has joined the millionaires club, as I'd predicted six days ago, calling for the event within two weeks. Argentina and Columbia will do so within days.

The US will cross 9 million cases in about 10--12 days. Texas will surpass California soon. Daily case totals are higest in Illinois, though cases/1mm pop are ... probably highest in North Dakota (I'd need to calculate this).

India's daily count is above the US, though the two countries are trading places as US infection rates rise and India's fall.
