Does that set the FR record for number of links in a post?

Good work maintaining that list as a reference, though. My suggestion would be to add just a couple of the most reputable reference links at the top (or bottom), JHU map and Worldometer USA CV page, for example?

Ok, a question:

Looking at Worldometer’s USA page, we’ve definitely “flattened the curve” but either by daily new cases or daily new deaths, I see NO indication that overall the daily new deaths are going DOWN. Instead, we have a sustained fatality rate of approx. 2k per day. So, we are “holding our own but bleeding” with present social distancing and restrictions in place. Trying to see into the future, yesterday was the highest number of new US cases yet.

So, unless testing is still accelerating* (could well be), we are looking at most likely that death rate continuing at around 2k for at least 2 weeks, maybe longer. Barring some new & effective treatment, I don’t see it coming down, and, this country HAS to open up at least somewhat: I would not be surprised to see the daily fatalities actually go UP a bit.

*IF testing has been accelerating strongly this past week, then that might be “warping” my attempt to extrapolate into the future / my guess that new infections vs. increasing testing is at present basically a wash and will continue to be. (Anybody have a curve of new tests per day?)

“Herd Immunity”, IF it occurs, should begin to help in another month or so, as does a decline in still living “most vulnerables”, but, again, there is reopening to consider. Summer should help too, but could be a wash (safer activities but a lot more of them?)

Basically, unless something changes significantly for the better, it looks to me as if we could be easily looking at 100k total fatalities by the end of May. Perhaps more.

Can someone please show a data trend to convince me otherwise? :-(

I'd like to second the above comment. Awesome list of great links, Race!

Might I suggest placing you list of links on your home/bio page with a well advertised link from future coronavirus threads to your massive and very informative links?

This will save you some work, as well as cut back on the scrolling folks have to do to get past this section of coronavirus threads for those not so interested, and just wanting to get the latest.

Just my 2 cents...for what it's worth...:)
