It may be much less deadly than thought, but the high contagion rate still means that a lot of people are dying. Still, the severity of the epidemic varies drastically depending on where you are, and the precautions should be eased and fine-tuned based on local conditions.
Yesterday, the rate of new infections in 23 states was less than 3% of total infections since the epidemic started, which suggests that the virus has already peaked in those places. Included in those states with low new-infection rates are hard-hit states like New York, Michigan, Connecticut, and Louisiana, as well as populous states like Florida, Tennessee, and Washington.

Kinda blows the exponential aspect of infection and death all to hell doesn’t it?
Except there is the antibody explosion so maybe we’ll actually get an exponential event.
