The US virus distribution map shows lots of variability. So they may choose to let some cities remain locked up.

The world wide case total looks to be growing linearly at a rate of approximately 500k cases per week (very eyeball). This is very good news as that means the R0 has been lowered dramatically by mitigation.

That doesn’t mean it’s over or even contained, but the cumulative case graph looks linear rather than exponential. That does not imply an inflection point in the growth curve, but there is hope!

Now the question is how long we stay this way. Just because the new case rate seems to be levelling off rather than growing, we can’t let up. We need that number to be declining.

Two weeks of linear growth is not conclusive, but it is better than continued exponential growth.

And as I said, this is very much an eyeball evaluation.
