Probably not far enough along in the government mandated shut downs for them to make a difference in deaths right now

Maybe. Washington shut down schools on March 12. They were the first state to do so right? Most everything I’ve read

But lots of people were practicing social distancing before March 12.

Even if we are, we’re testing more and more every day, which means we’ll have more positive cases

Hopefully this little plateau continues for a couple of days. It may flare up again if other cities see an outbreak

Not sure what data is key, but death rates are steady at 10-14% increases
Joe Banks

I think he means literally the last two days have seen flattening in growth of deaths per day. Which is true.

Well, looks like somewhere between May 21 and May 28 we’re all dead.

Very quickly we’re at 5 million dead per day, then the next week 25 million per day, then we’re really toast once

What is the median time to death on the vent? The 25th quartile?

Their growth in deaths per day has actually fallen since their peak on 3/21. They instituted mandatory quarantine
