No flattening yet. The deaths in the US have risen 65 times. The total is over 46,000 now. More than the seasonal flu. And we are only two months into this thing.
Opening up the economy and getting back to normal now is plain stupid if you want to avoid more deaths and devastation. The curve may be flattening regionally or locally. But nationally the death rate is accelerating. Not good at all.
It is astounding how hopeful and wishful some thinking is. How uncritical and illogical some decisions are. Data and numbers can show good and bad trends depending how you look. Or what you look at in isolation. It’s the big picture and past experience that tells you how bad this is and how much worse it will be. And how this is not over for a long time.
