It’s discouraging, especially with everything else that’s happening ... but we know how this crest plays out ... the cases will start to subside after at most a week or two in the peak.

one thing to consider: notice the spike in “new” cases is coming from the states that are re-opening for business.
at happy hour earlier this week, a buddy told me his son was called back to work & as part of the “onboarding” process, the boy was required to go get tested.
so re-opening will spike testing which will identify “new” cases that may or may not have been asymptomatic. (btw, they are now including:
<> aches & pains
<> tiredness
<> head aches
if covid diagnosis is based on these new guidlines there could be millions of “new cases” slapped on us everyday, imo.
That's the plan
True on the diagnosis angle. People are going in with "normal" aches and pains now and immediately get a Covid-19 test. Got a fever from a cold or a CMV flare-up? You get a test. Going back to work? You get a test. Tests for everyone, now. And...
One of my small-town, sparsely-populated county relatives has a friend whose father died of a not unexpected heart attack, but the cause of death on their death certificate was listed as Covid-19. The family is very angry about this blatant misdiagnosis. When you get late middle-aged stolid citizens sputtering that the latest M.E. is "a young @#$% U of I liberal," the fun starts.
