    Thanks. One of the things I like about data and math is that the numbers do not lie or spin. They are what they are.

    Our political world is so full of lies, diversions and spin it is often hard to know the truth. That graph, these numbers, cannot be spun into something they are not.

    Obviously, there is no one day when we can say we finally reached the peak on that same day. We won't really know that until days later, possibly a week after the fact. It will be SO encouraging to see us finally reach that peak, and to see the Active Cases begin to drop. We might be there right now. If so, we will know it next week.

    I only hope that we don't screw it up by pretending that reaching a peak means it's all over, and by dropping our guard too soon.

    Sadly, it looks like that may be exactly where we are headed. I am seeing fewer and fewer people wearing masks or keeping distance out in stores and in public.

    I bet you're right. I predict we are screwed no matter if we reach the peak prior to then or not.

    If we don't reach the peak, of course we are screwed simply by remaining in the grips of the deadly disease that has already taken over 100K Americans.

    If we DO reach a peak before than, and it may be happening right now, then airhead people are going to think the danger has passed and party like there is no problem.

    The 4th of July is a huge holiday for America, a time when people traditionally gather in great groups to watch fireworks, wave flags, and pretend that's what patriotism is all about. People are tired of being cooped up and avoiding crowds. That was easier in cold weather, but winter is gone and spring has sprung. People have gone stir-crazy and they want to get out and have some entertainment. There have been no big sports events, no concerts, no crowded bars in which to blow off steam. (exceptions noted)

    People are itching to get out and enjoy life the way it used to be.

    If we pass the peak, they are gonna think the danger has passed.

    We are screwed either way.

    Either they have already blown off fighting the war with the bug, and we see our second wave before the 4th of July, or if things begin to improve they are going to use that as justification to drop their personal fight.

    The bug wins either way.

    If only we had really good leadership...

    So we all sacrifice for 3 months, jobs, being able to go out, our children missing proms and graduations, and Democrats allow 10's of thousands of people to gather enmasse in the streets during a pandemic in the name of some warped sense of political correctness because somebodies want to vent their pent up anger toward police

    Only 3% will be screwed. About 20% will have a bad time. 80% of us will be fine. I want to get tested for antibodies since there is a small chance I've ready been infected and over it. It'd be nice to know for sure.

    Even so, the 4th of July will be minus a few Grandmas and Grandpas. Maybe the family can go plant a flag on their graves instead.

    God bless America and those who defend our Constitution.

    This reality stuff sucks sometimes.

    I could have already had it myself, don't know. Would like to know, but I see not point in taking any of the current antibody tests because they are so inaccurate, what's the point? You'd still be guessing. I wish we had one that worked well.

    The troubling thing about the latest data is 22K New Cases just yesterday.

    And we also don't like the 16.9K in serious / critical condition.

    It's a bummer, but we'll likely see some huge spikes from everything that's happening right now...

    I hope not but it seems inescapable.

    If that happens, we'll be able to see it in the data.
