With the past two day's new cases numbers being almost flat-ish... we may be at the peak this week.
.... or we're just doing a sh#tty job of testing and we'll find out later that it's everywhere.
With NYC now essentially shrugging their shoulders at deaths at home, we have officially reached the "We will never know how many people COVID-19 actually killed" stage of the pandemic.
That's kinda fun.
(but in reality's its just +200 x every day since Saturday or something like that)
And the death rate and infection rate is way under reported and always will be.
Yeah. but it's fun to point it out.
And that's with limited testing.
US has 369,069 confirmed cases and 11,008 deaths so far. If my math is correct, that's 3% no?

Yeah...
But keep in mind the deaths is at least 600+ more now that NYC is no longer testing their dead. They were estimating (back on Sat I think) 200 a day untested dead due to COVID-19.
I think I remember Danm saying they weren't testing their dead at the hospital either (I may be misremembering so don't quote me on that).... essentially we're missing testing on both the living and dead side of things.
We have passed the point where we can get an accurate count. So the 3% is "good enough" back of the napkin.
TL/DR I wouldn't purposely estimate it lower due to untested living.... because we're also missing some of the dead.
Also... most current numbers I see are 386,571 cases 12,274 dead (still about 3%)
This is lawsuit type negligence.
