Look at all the graphs at the link below. Yes, they are all going up - but none at the vertical that was predicted by now.

Yes, NYC is a basket case, some hospitals around the country are going to be swamped and cases will continue to go up.

But are we starting to win?

I’d say yes. Our CFR is nothing like that seen in Italy, Spain, or France. I haven’t seen any convincing reason why but I’ll take it.

We're definitely not out of the woods, especially with the spring break cases not even appearing yet, but I think we're on track for a 1%-1.5% CFR.
