True. The important number is not going to be raw total of infections but the death rate. I think ultimately very large numbers of people will be infected, most without realizing it. Bending the curve on the death rate is really the number to watch.

> raw total of infections

If the actual daily counts of new infections does peak, that’s a big deal. There is not a death from a disease without the disease. Death counts will lag new case counts. New case counts are a “leading indicator.”
