Caution is highly advised. I am not trying to be negative but I feel the need to keep some basic facts in front of the Freepers.
My data is sourced from the individual states and posted in Wikipedia. It tracks the numbers I see from other sources.
Here is something to think about:
3/16 - 75 Cumulative Deaths from the Coronavirus.
4/16 - 30,355 Cumulative Deaths from the Coronavirus.
And that is the month we have been under the maximum quarantine. 30,000 U.S. deaths in a single month.
4/16 - 2141 U.S. deaths in a single day and an upward trend.
Over the past 7 dates the average deaths per day is just shy of 2000.
So OK, Infections have peaked. Deaths trail infections by something like 3 weeks. So we should see some improvement in the daily death count by about May 1. Sooner is possible. Another 25,000 deaths is, unfortunately more likely.
I really want to be wrong about this but the data is what it is. If you look worldwide it is worse. But infections are falling faster than I expected. Hopefully deaths will as well.
I appreciate your efforts. But these folks are hysterical and don’t really want to hear measured information.
We can even see disease related hypocrisy.
Let’s close down the economy and socially isolate everyone for a disease similar to the flu in death rate ... but not HIV that killed tens of millions worldwide.
Let’s limit everyone’s travel for the sake of public health for Americans, but not illegal immigrants entering the country who bring diseases from Chagas disease to TB to measles.
Order everyone to be screened for the Wuhan virus to be allowed to work, but don’t require all immigrants to be screened for disease or limited from entering if found ill.
Arrest people for not abiding by social distancing, but knowingly exposing people to HIV is no longer a crime in California.
Here is what you can do to easily get ahead of all your info sources... Go to your local morgue, any city in the US will do, even NY and Louisiana, and count the corpses. Ask the coroner how many died last year on this date.
Overwhelmingly, there have been fewer deaths this year than last. What happened to the ten thousand bodies from all the people that died of the virus? The 50,000? the two and a half million? Now do you want to believe your own lying eyes or the gold-plated statistics from the poofters on TV? Believe your eyes or the media, but something big is going on and you are being distracted.
