I agree with your green pasture comment. The interesting
thing is though, these things don’t seem to continue
grazing even though there is pasture left.
We just don’t see anything approaching 50-100%, when viruses
like this come knocking at our nation’s door, break in, and
have their way.
As for testing, we are showing some very large numbers to be
sure, but my take on it is that per capita, we have not done
nearly the testing other nations have.
I welcome anyone who has another view on that.
I don’t mind being corrected.
It stands to reason that like all epidemics it will top out when between 40 and 60% of the population will encounter the virus.
Informative 10 minute video from a Dr. on the front lines in NYC. Wash your hands, don’t touch your face, and social distance.

The CDC’s early screw ups really put us behind the curve on testing. Hopefully that is about to be remedied in a big way and we can catch up.
Good article on this from the MIT Technology Review.
Why the CDC botched its coronavirus testing
The first testing kits from the Centers for Disease Control had a simple fault, and red tape prevented other labs from creating their own.

You mean per capita testing we have not done as much. In sheer #s we have smoked the world and I don’t think we have nearly “caught up” to what’s out there.
The mortality rate continues to go up. As more testing is done I expected this rate to decline. This is troubling. This virus is more deadly than I first thought it would be.
