Fauci say that we can flatten the curve and reach the peak just like in S. Korea and China.
Here in Washington state we had our first Wuhan virus patient January 20. That one was given a non-FDA approved ebola vaccine which may have been the Gilead vaccine. He survived and went home.
Then we had a 50-year-old person on chemo therapy who went to South Korea, came home with no immune system and passed away.
We then had a Life Care petri dish of infection in mid to late February where people with existing conditions were infected and passed away. There were 20 or so of those patients.
Since then Washington state which is now eight or nine weeks into it is having decreasing deaths. There is a lot of testing, about 1,000 per day with 100 per day diagnosed as positive.
The positive rate is flat at 100 and the deaths are diminishing. I think that Washington state being the first and flattening out is likely what will happen in other states. The other coastal states of California and New York who were early with it will likely flatten out.
If the number of cases was static, the curve will be an expoential ramp up just from expoential ramp up of testing.
