Refresh my memory are we headed for a new high in deaths?

1. Yes.

The moment the “lockdown” lifts, bunches of idiots will go out without masks, and infect one another. In a month, deaths will begin to skyrocket, and a new high in deaths will be recorded.

Hopefully by that time we’ll have more PPE available for the remaining health care workers, provided they don’t all quit.

3. Worldometers had us at 2395 last I looked. I've forgotten our previous high

perhaps on purpose. I got tired of tracking so kinda backed off as I was scaring myself.

5. All the numbers are bullshit so it's hard to tell.

I want to see reporting for Florida similar to what they did in New York comparing the overall number of deaths last month to the same month last year.

There's no way the numbers in Florida are as low as what is being reported.

Because there's not enough testing and Republican states are undercounting deaths there's no way to know how many people have already been infected and which states have hit their peaks already yet or not.

My sense is that the South and Midwest still haven't seen the worst of it and given the lack of action taken by the governors there it is likely to be as bad or worse than what we've seen in New York.

But maybe it already is and we're just not being told...

Look at the levels of "atypical illness" being reported in Florida by digital thermometers and tell me there isn't an obvious outbreak there that isn't being captured in the official statistics.

7. Donald Trump Jr. the Governor of Floriduh has 107 bodies stashed in his garage.

15. +1, my understanding is the less the test the less the deaths but they can't hide the hospitalized

... so I wonder what they're calling the hospitalized that die of CV.

The reason why the death rate in NY is so high is because of the lack of testing, the lower test numbers means higher death rates when people die in hospitals.

8. We have the most deaths in one day

Today: 2,479 in the U.S., according to Worldometers.

[gibraltar72]

9. Yeah last I looked we were at 2470

Great time to open up I'd like to do this again.

10. Americans are ungovernable

We refuse to acknowledge truth, on so many levels, that we are ungovernable.

I weep for my country.

11. I don't know whether the daily death toll will go up BUT

I suspect that a lot of people in the Deep South, Texas, Tennessee and Kentucky will be departing this life. I fear that the COVID virus death toll will match US military deaths during the Vietnam or the Korean wars sometime this year.

12. Vanderbilt Univ projects TN peak mid-June

IF current protections are kept in place; however trump humper Gov Lee was 1st to announce he will reopen state early May. "Get back to work." 😳

[gibraltar72]

13. What does a University know. Do they have a gut?

[SheltieLover]

14. LOL Dunno

But if they point to their heads indicating where their answers come from, it doesn't indicate nothingness.
