Here is my CV tracking spreadsheet, with data thru Thu. 04/30.

Sheet info: The hi-res JPG is sized 8x13 @ 300 ppi. It prints on a single sheet of legal-size 8.5x14 paper.

Bad news: There were 2,202 deaths in US on 04/30. Total US deaths thru 04/30 are 63,871.

[1/6]

We are on a probable track to be in the 95,000 to 130,000 range for total US deaths by the end of May.

Good news: daily.tests were above 200,000.

[2/6]

The doubling periods for total.tested.positive and total.deaths continue to lengthen, and are now 18.5 days and 13.6 days respectively. The resultant 30-day multipliers for total.tested.positive and total.deaths are down 99.997% and 99.878% from their peaks.

Soapbox: A minimum of 59,790 Americans were killed by cv19 in April. That is staggering and tragic. More in one month than in the 20 years of US losses in Vietnam. However, it could have been MUCH worse.

Our individual suppressive actions, difficult in many ways, have slowed the virus. Hunkering down WORKS. We continue to buy valuable TIME to arm up our medical supplies & services, and develop treatments & vaccines,in service to life & our fellow citizens.
