MEDIA: You must clarify that while NYC is forecasting a peak in NEW DAILY CASES IN NEW YORK CITY in 2 weeks, the peak in terms of TOTAL NEW DAILY CASES IN AMERICA isn't projected to be April 12, as NYC is just the "canary in the coal mine" for major outbreaks in 25+ other cities.
PS/ If we were under a NATIONWIDE STAY-AT-HOME ORDER, that'd be different—states would be on a similar transmission schedule and the country would peak together. But that is not what's happening, and even places under stay-at-home orders are seeing insufficient social distancing.
PS2/ It's about to be April, and many cities are *just now* seeing a sudden, startling rise in cases (Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, DC, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Indianapolis, Las Vegas, Miami, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, and others). April 12 is *not* a *national* peak.
