1,000 more US deaths today than yesterday...

[BigmanPigman]

and the day is not over. So far the US is at 2,300+ deaths for today, the 5th highest "daily deaths" to date. Deaths across the US are going up while NYC's is still declining. Should we be opening up at this time?

New York has over 300,000 total cases and 23,000 deaths (3,000 died on 9/11).

1. due to the weekend

Tuesday is usually the highest day of the week as many state health offices don't certify weekend deaths until late Monday or early Tuesday. That being said, this is the first decline in a Tuesday in 3 weeks, and the average weekly death rate is falling (thankfully).

5. Might break the record of 2,600+

With unreported deaths, we're probably beyond a 9/11 per day losses.
