Click on the link. On each of these charts you can put your cursor on the chart to see the progression of the virus. Move to today's date. It seems to be tracking on a path to be gone by early to mid summer, similar to other viruses.

If Trump really wanted to show leadership he would say he is redirecting enough stimulus money to create thousands of Abbott Labs throughout the country producing machines and tests non stop until getting tested is as simple as getting gas for your car. If you are positive you quarantine for 2 weeks.
Virus gone and life joyously back to normal in short order. With what is happening, if things go sideways and the virus jumps once states start opening, which it inevitably will, Trump's re-election is in real trouble.
It already is.
Very few in the USA are willing to acknowledge that we will all eventually be infected. We pretend that “flattening the curve” means we don’t get sick. The reality is that we should be doing whatever we can to enhance our immune systems and hope for mild symptoms when the inevitable occurs.
The “shelter in place” guidelines are just government covering its ass and attempting to appear useful. We’ll eventually realize that the actions of government simply prolonged the inevitable infections and greatly damaged the economy. Those vulnerable to COVID-19 are also vulnerable to influenza and pneumonia. Being old and compromised sucks.
Interesting chart and hopefully the trends they see will come to pass.
But a word of warning: The data they are using is not agreement with other sources at least for the state by state and total U.S. deaths that are posted daily in the associated Wikipedia articles.
What you see with the Wikipedia data is a very steady 1700 to 2000 deaths per day and at most a slow decline.
Somebody is wrong.
