3: The doubling time for confirmed COVID-19 cases in the United States is 231 days.

A: If there were 128,178 cases per million people on September 23^rd, 2021, estimate the date that this value reaches 256,356, assuming no mitigating factors exists which will alter the doubling time. You can make this estimate assuming months are 30 days long.

B: Knowing the doubling-time, estimate how many days it would be from September 23, 2021 before the entire US population had a confirmed case of COVID-19. (This would mean 1 million out of every 1 million people had been infected). Use a value of 328 million for the population. Based on what you know about the pandemic so far, and peoples' responses to it, argue for, or against, a political policy of the type 'Everything will be better once everyone has had a confirmed case of COVID-19'. You can make this estimate assuming months are 30 days long, and that the initial count of cases on 9/23/2021 is about 125,000.

Please show how you answered the first part of B!!!
