Before November? How about by July.
Our curve although bent a little bit, the descent is very slow. This week is the very first week the 2000+ deaths we have been experiencing for weeks drops to 1700 deaths level, still way too high. I can see 200k deaths by August.
It's all so sad. I'm afraid you are right.
Testing has increased, but it sounds like, from people I know, that you still have to fight to get a test if you are not that I'll seeming. It's not like they are testing everyone.

The drop is only because NYC has peaked. Other areas, which are reopening, are still seeing increasing cases and increasing deaths.

We may have as many as 110,000 already.

Which do liberals prefer. The truth about where we are in terms of covid 19 infection and death.
Or fiction from the government?

What happened on May 1st? Oh ya, Texas "opened up."
You forgot this part of the article:
"The increase in positive cases comes as COVID-19 testing ramps up across the state.
Gov. Greg Abbott on Monday ordered testing for all nursing home residents and employees across the state. State health officials also are working to test all employees in some meatpacking plants in the Panhandle.
On Thursday, the health agency reported 35,853 new tests, the second highest increase in tests in a single day. The state set a record one day prior, when health officials reported 49,259 new tests."
More testing...more positives.
Nice try, though.
Your analysis is faulty. If coronavirus tests were administered randomly then, yes, more tests would naturally result in more positives. But coronavirus tests are currently are only given to those most likely to be sick. An increase in positive tests along with an increase in the number of tests means that Texas still doesn't have the capacity to test everyone that is infected. So more positives despite more testing is a bad thing. This is exactly why a decrease in positive test rates is one of the requirements for a phase one opening, which Texas is ignoring. The rate of positive tests is actually increasing in Texas.

My analysis is not faulty wrt what PP above posted..."largest jump in cases". An increase in a daily raw number of positive cases can be correlated directly to an increase in a daily raw number of tests.
You are begging the question. You are saying that because the number of tests increased and the number of positives increased, these are correlated. Therefore, of course "more testing...more positives." To think of this another way, in one year will the number of positive tests be positively correlated or negatively correlated to the number of tests conducted?
What happens over a year is not germane to what PP was reporting. PP above was reporting a single day hike. The article itself said ""The increase in positive cases comes as COVID-19 testing ramps up across the state."

Yes, we need to look at excess deaths to get the best picture. Too many variables with testing since we are so far behind.
