Still many places have not peaked yet, and the downward curve is not the steep bell shape we had hoped. If that holds, we will be seeing 100,000+ deaths in total by August.

USA 960,525 +35,293 54,248 +2,055

But descents look much slower than ascents

August? Try May.

I am hoping next week we will start seeing some downward slope. It is unlikely we will keep this pace of 2000 deaths per day for the next three weeks. But there is a risk of 2nd wave if we open up too soon and too widely.

The above post was from April 26. PP predicted a month ago we would see 100,000 deaths by the end of May. We doubled our death toll in a month. We are at 95,000 deaths and 1.6 million total as of now.

What's your point? Are you actually trying to say Italy has done better than the United States. Not by any comparison have they done better. Try comparing how Western Europe has done to the U.S. because that's a far better comparison related to geography and population. The U.S. has done way better.

The point being is all countries world wide were caught unprepared and their governments were more interested in politics or spying or subverting each other rather than important things. This exposes the U.S. government as a failure regardless of politics. Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama and now Trump all spent time and resources not categorizing things of importance to the country. It also reinforces the idea that big government doesn't work no matter how big it gets. The inefficiencies overwhelm any sort of ability to get work done.

Nope. And further, we had a playbook. Trump ignored it. Strong nope. This was all mitigatable.

They are looking better because the government and people are doing something about it.

We aren't doing that here.

Italy also had an actual lockdown. We didn't. Anywhere.

Nearly all states are significantly increasing the numbers of contact tracers. In spite of our federal government, we are addressing the virus, differently in different states.

Also a good thing is the CDC now says it is not easily transmitted by surfaces or objects, even those with the coronavirus on them. Apparently it can linger so test positive, but it's actually no longer in a state that will infect someone.

We are losing 1500 souls every single day. We will have a death toll of 100,000 in 5 days.

Let's hope history doesn't repeat
