Don't be fooled by America's (case) flattening curve nytimes.com/interactive/20… by @Nat_Lash @nytgraphics @nytopinion
The ascending May 6th log US fatality curves
A correction to note:
For best-fit, @BMcNoldy 100,000 US deaths by May 19th
but
For @youyanggu's model, we reach 100,000 on May 27th

It's important to acknowledge that #COVID19 is a new disease and we're still learning how best to treat it.
Such as the threshold of using mechanical ventilators and tolerating low levels of blood oxygen in patients

Or that at least 20-30% of patients develop blood clots

And these are often missed and can be lethal

so blood thinners may be required for prevention
Or that 73 children in New York (alone) could develop Kawasaki disease (or "like") pan-inflammatory, toxic shock syndrome with 3 deaths

We've seen a lot of encouraging clinical trial results for repurposed drugs, re-directed against #COVID19, in just 2 weeks. 4 different pathways. Potential for combinations. That's why I'm optimistic.
R=randomized.
Links and details for the 2 published trials

The #1 US cause of death for April was #COVID19. And that will be the case for May. But under-counting before April (lack of tests and an ICD code) and the excess deaths compared w/ prior years show how much we still don't know wsj.com/articles/leadi… @mcjomcg
and @PostGraphics
Calling BS.
The attempts to claim the US #COVID19 death toll is over-counted
