Trump needs to show his leadership NOW. Be encouraging. He could say, “Keep building and growing, America. Keep hiring good people. Keep making great products. Have faith that moves mountains. Get out and enjoy life again.”

That's with presumed social distancing. IOW, no more school, sports, church, shopping, restaurants, etc. Is that our goal? What happens when life goes back to normal?

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.

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.
