Unless the specter begins to disappear just like its two very recent predecessors, SARS and MERS, at this rate of daily positive discovery I expect the total number of infection to go up to 66,000 or even 70,000 by the time the total test performed reaches one million. Let’s hope that the recovery rate will go up more than its current level in the lower to mid 40% range. Otherwise, it is something to worry about. But I am not in a panic mode yet. Insha’Allah!!!!
