The U.S. just (within last few minutes) hit 1,000 COVID-19 deaths.

2 months ago we could not even imagine what is going on right now.

I’m sorry for the people and their families that were subjected to this horror. I await their Justice.

Today's TOTAL NEW U.S. Cases: 13,870

This was not an actual reduction in daily growth rate, but represents further significant breakage of the exponential pattern we were experiencing until about March 22.
