May 30th might really be IT.
So far, (fingers crossed,) it looks like we may have passed a peak on May 30th.
We need to keep practicing good social distancing measures. Our efforts appear to be working. This would be a really bad time to pretend it is all over, though. We still had over a 1000 Americans die yesterday, and over 20,000 new cases identified. We like that the number of serious / critical cases has fallen below 17K, but only just barely.

If we don't see a spike after these protests, there might be something else at play here. Maybe warmer weather, maybe a bit of herd immunity, or maybe many more simply had it than thought - but we have had a week of huge crowds not practicing social distancing, at all.Originally Posted by PoliTalker

Testing has shown our corona antibodies are at 3 percent. I have seen stats saying herd requires from 60 to 94 percent.. Herd in not even in the conversation now.

Hello Nordberg,
Part of the problem is the lack of testing. That's a big problem because without adequate testing you don't have the true picture. It is widely agreed that the true numbers are far higher than the testing shows.
Cawacko made a good comment. He asked where are the pictures of long lines of cars at existing testing sites, demanding more testing? We don't have those pictures. People are not demanding more testing. Many likely have or had the virus and never got tested. And there is good reason to avoid testing. If you suspect you have the virus and get tested you are going to have your life scrutinized. They are going to want to trace all your contacts. Everywhere you went and who you saw becomes public knowledge. People don't like that. They like their privacy.
For testing to work well in the USA there has to be some kind of incentive. For Americans that means money. The government should be paying people to get tested. If we did that, you would see great demand for testing. Then we would get better data.
It is entirely possible we have already reached herd immunity and simply don't know it. Time will tell. It could have peaked before we ever got testing rolled out in big numbers, and our rise in identified Active Cases merely reflected the rate at which we rolled out testing. Time will tell.

Hello BartenderElite,
Naturally it is expected that participation in close proximity group activities will lead to increased transmission, but what is unclear is the percentage of the population that is out there doing that. Most protestors are younger, less vulnerable to COVID-19. They may get the disease but not know it. It could take some time before they might transmit it to others. It could be hard to tell if that creates a noticeable spike in the national data or not.
It does help that the protests are outside, and that people tend not to be in close proximity with specific others for a long duration. Time will tell in the data.

High Level of Addiction
Can't wait to see if the rioters and protesters pump up the death toll in the next week or so after an incubation period.
Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
pain in abortion.
Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

From what I read, we're already starting to see some big spikes in various areas.
High Level of Addiction
Those would be cases that have already been incubated for more than a week. And, if they're seeing it THIS soon, that would mean
it's the extremely early stages where the recovery probabilities are at their highest with such immediate treatment.

The number of Active Cases of COIVD-19 jumped yesterday.
Obviously we are not out of the woods by any means.
The peak of 1,176,025 which was reached on May 30th still stands.
Active Cases increased by 14,046 yesterday.
We will continue to monitor the situation closely.
This graph shows the peak, and it also shows that we have not dropped that much since our peak.
(The 14K increase from yesterday has not been plotted on this graph)
