Originally posted by little_monkey View PostIt could be. But one has to factor in that so far the epicenter has been in New York, where the spread seems to be slowing down. However, as the virus is spreading to rural areas where the folks there are less likely to seek professional - due to economic reasons and accessibility to health care, the number of reported cases are going to be less reliable.
I do believe that the reported cases in the future will be better reported than you indicate. Actually the problem of accurate data is more in the places like NYC that are so overwhelmed by fatalities that it will be a will before accurate numbers are available.
Nonetheless NYC data is showing a natural bell curve recovery.

In the U.S., it appears to be one step forward, one step back. For the last two days new cases have increased (up to 28,429 yesterday), and deaths are back above 2,300 per day (2,390 yesterday). World numbers are also up, especially deaths - but that is partly due to the UK changing how it is tallying deaths.
Yet the drumbeat for "reopen" continues and grows, and the "leaders" are listening.
It's going to be a rough year.
On the plus side, several former clients have reached out because they are beefing up online learning and need help. So a little infusion of income in the early days of retirement. What they hey. I was a bit sick of fishing and cleaning the house.The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

We have both some of the densest populated areas in the world and the least, therefore our numbers will alway be middle of the pack because of this fact. Our test, in major hot spots, is right on par with everyone else and ahead of many others.

Originally posted by JimL View PostSo what?The fact remains that the U.S., the Trump administration, ignored the warnings of a pandemic, rejected the offered test kits from the W.H.O., sent out faulty test kits of their own making, and started testing late which allowed the virus to further spread in the first place.

Chinese made test kits had errors too:

So why are you repeating lies and half truths, as facts?
And that is just testing which there is still to this day a shortage of as well as a shortage of protective gear.
They also delayed in setting up guidelines such as wearing masks, social distancing, banning crowds etc etc.
Even now, Trump, by executive order, is sending meat processing employees back to work without the enforcement of OSHA and CDC rules even though thousands of cases have been traced back to those plants."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe.

Shortages caused by sending our manufacturing capacity over to China.
With the press and democrats, were totally cool with.
Where do you plan on getting your food from Jimmy?My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1
If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26
This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19
