We clearly live inside a Dystopian AI simulation and have nearly reached the end.

I mean at this point, I'm sure we've covered every 3 digit number either by state or nationally, so what are they bitching about?

damn I put in 5 different random 3 digit numbers and each one had a different city or country report that number of cases in the last 24hrs...….

Seems weird because multiple outlets have an article for every number I tried but if you think about how many places can report new cases (towns, counties, states, etc) multiplied by how many days are being reported it’s completely reasonable that there are over 1,000 combinations if not many more.

Unless I’m missing something.

I'm not going to follow your instructions because I suspect it might actually inflate publicly viewed numbers. Plus, I avoid using Google as much as possible.
It's not unlike someone providing a link to a website that I do not want to contribute a hit to.
So why don't you just share your experience.

It actually works for 2-digit numbers as well.

I'm all for calling this virus waaaay overblown, but this proves nothing. It's literally simple math. How many different reports in how many different cities have been done around the world. Using every 3 digit number was going to happen.

At some point these locations hit that number momentarily, and it goes into the cloud.Put an unreasonably large number in which none will attain.
