Today (4/24) was the highest day of US CV cases yet: 38,764

Which should mean that the highest days of deaths are coming in the next 2-3 weeks.

The previous high was April 4 with 34,517. That was followed by a peak in deaths on April 21.

It's currently hundreds of new cases a day. It will soon be thousands.

Same number of tests given?

Or did they decline?

Because if they increased, then you need to figure out the percent increase of the tests, compare that with the % increase of the tests that came back positive.

That means that unless changes in behavior happen, we will continue to see higher infection levels.
