🚨BREAKING: Good news! the number of new #coronavirus cases per day in the US *appears to be peaking*.🤞🏼

Lockdowns and #PhysicalDistancing are finally starting to pay off, but we *cannot* let our foot off the brake, or else #COVID cases will surge again.⚠️

#CoronavirusPandemic

While the number of *new #coronavirus cases per day* appears to be peaking, our cumulative total number of cases has soared past 530,000, exceeding all other nations (#China is NOT accurate).

Plus we are *MASSIVELY undercounting* due to major shortages of #COVID19 tests.🤬

As I've warned, even though the number of new #coronavirus cases per day *appears* to be peaking, new deaths will *keep rising* AFTER we #FlattenTheCurve of new cases.

Now that new #COVID19 cases *appear* be leveling off, new deaths/day will continue to rise for ~2 more weeks.😰

The total number of #COVID19 deaths in the US is >20,500, higher than #Spain or #Italy. No one knows how many deaths #China had.

Sadly, the *real* death toll is higher: MANY #coronavirus deaths have not been recorded in the US, although #NYC is now recording "suspected" deaths.

#NY has the highest number of #COVID19 deaths per day (outside #China), but the curve is starting to flatten, now that new #coronavirus cases have flattened.🙏🏼

Daily new deaths still remain high in #Spain (Madrid/Catalonia) and #Italy (Lombardy), well AFTER new cases fell.

Total number of #COVID19 deaths in #NY will soon pass #Italy. Deaths in NJ and MI also continue to rise, followed by LA, CA, and FL.

Even though the number of new #coronavirus cases per day *appears* be flattening, deaths will continue to rise for weeks.

April will be hell.😰
