Edit: ABC Evening News has just said it is 193K... Worldometers' is 176K with 2 hours update time remaining. Anybody remembers Mr. Dumbfuck's "We are rounding the corner" message? How about "The virus will disappear after the election"? Hey, we are at 160K, that is a healthy rounding error away from 200K. And you know we are going to hit 200K in a week anyway... #1 in the world!!! "Eight days after the U.S. hit 100,000 cases in a day for the first time, the number topped 160,000 on Thursday.

Most people and health facilities are not doing rapid testing. In fact in most states (even in North Carolina) it is not available yet -- since the Feds only started allocating rapid tests in October. Rapid tests for COVID are not every accurate -- you should use the traditional PCR test which gives you results in a couple of days.
