I should clarify ACE expression is reduced in LUNG biopsy tissue of chronic asthmatic “human” subjects. Reduces the injurious initial unopposed surge of Ang II. https://jacionline.org/article/S0091-6749(99)70385-4/pdf

Upregulated ACE due to inhibition by the virus at ACE2 causes a multitude of detrimental effects, including hypertension, inflammation, vasoconstriction, hyglycemia, diabetes, blood coagulation, hyperaldosterone, end organ damage, autoimmune tendency.

AGT II receptors on human platelets
https://ahajournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1161/01.RES.51.3.314
‘We conclude that human platelets possess angiotensin
receptors whose binding characteristics and modulation by dietary sodium resemble the properties
of the receptors on “classical” animal angiotensin target tissues.’
Thank you for letting us know what is going on. I have heard the same from a friend
Since about April 3, the growth has been linear, not exponential, because of, as you point out, all the mitigation. Once that mitigation is removed... well... I'm still going to socially distance until I see what the trend turns out to be. I expect, like you do, that it will be exponential again.
Most restaurants, retail, etc, has been closed for about a month.
That said, we have gone from 15 cases on March 15 to just over 8600 yesterday.
Trump and Dr. Birx recent statements confirm everything we already knew.
The next two to four weeks will tell us how bad it will be.
Praying for the Hot Weather to slow things down.
Thank you for the by county links!!
What appears to be a US government document obtained by the New York Times:
3,000 deaths per day by June 1?

Thank you for the info. Reviewing now
Dear Uncle Joe,
As Covid19 was ravaging China, you were helping to impeach a President over false charges. It appears that you have not dropped your playbook.

A mask with a hole cutout is not a mask. It serves no purpose.
“Roche CEO says it is ‘very likely’ people develop immunity after recovering from coronavirus”

Before they got serious around here, my last trip to grocery store had 4 coughing people in it. Those coughs travel two aisles away. Now they would probably kick your butt out if you were coughing excessively.
“It serves no purpose.”
It depends on your purpose. If your purpose is to get past the sign at the door that says “No entry without mask” then it serves that purpose just fine.
Bump that!
Note how little the “model” resembles actual data up to this point. All but three real world numbers fall outside of the 25%-75% projection, and the majority fall outside the 2.5%-97.5% projection. They could have done better throwing darts blindfolded.
