Due to the holiday, reporting by every county and state is not available today, but US deaths yesterday dropped below 1000 (to 612, with almost 20,000 new cases). I'm hoping that the upcoming week consistently sees deaths below 1000, nationwide. But I'm worried that the case number will continue to climb.
It's going to be a different demographic, over the next month or two. I think the very elderly in nursing homes are a bit safer than they were at the beginning of this crisis, and many nursing homes still have strict rules on who can visit, etc. I think healthcare workers now have PPE most places, and that the case load is lower, so they will have more time to suit up and to follow procedures. There's less intubation than before, which is a risk to the doctors that do it.
Many of the newer cases in SoCal are being sent home to convalesce, mostly in the under-50 age group. It's worrying that on May 21, we have our second highest day of new cases in California, as we begin opening up. The tool I'm using doesn't have total data for May 22-24.
If the US has a whole has about 20,000 new cases a day, it'll be interesting to see if the overall mortality changes (as the patients will, I think, be younger and therefore it stands to reason fewer deaths).
But as
@HongKongPhooey says, this disease is no joke. In those states where testing is already low, we may never know exactly what the longterm consequences for health may be in younger people.
