⚠️Good news! New #coronavirus cases per day in the US have peaked and *may* be starting to decline.🙏🏼

If we don't continue #PhysicalDistancing, new #COVID19 cases will explode again, especially because @realDonaldTrump *still* hasn't ramped up testing.🤬

#WhereAreTheTests

While new #coronavirus cases per day have peaked, our cumulative total number of cases continues to rise, now >690,000, higher all other nations (#China NOT accurate).

And we know that we've *MASSIVELY undercounted* due Trump's FAILURE to roll out adequate #COVID19 testing.🤬

Now that daily new #coronavirus cases have finally flattened, the daily #COVID19 death toll *may* be peaking.🙏🏼

~2,000 American lives are still being lost each day, and if @realDonaldTrump gets his wish to reopen too early, MORE lives will be lost.🤬

#CoronavirusPandemic

‼️~36,000 Americans have died from #COVID19 *in less than a month*.

Even worse, the *actual death toll* is higher: MANY #coronavirus deaths were not recorded, because Trump *still* has NOT ramped up testing.

#WhereAreTheTests

#NY has the highest #COVID19 daily death toll (outside #China), but the curve has finally flattened.🙏🏼

Sadly, our daily death toll will remain high weeks after new #coronavirus cases have fallen, similar to trends in #Spain (Madrid/Catalonia) and #Italy (Lombardy).😰

Cumulative #COVID19 death toll in #NY is flattening, but is higher than #Italy. Deaths in NJ may eventually surpass Italy, too.

Sadly, the death toll will continue to rise, even though daily #coronavirus cases/day flattened.

And our *actual* death toll is even HIGHER.

There is ZERO victory in more than 36,000 Americans dying in *less than a month*.

And Trump is RISKING MORE LIVES by trying to reopen too early, while *still* not ramping up #coronavirus testing anywhere close to what's needed.🤬
