New: US daily #COVID19 death toll continues to rise, now nearly 2,000 new deaths per day.

As I've warned, the daily death toll will keep rising until ~2 weeks AFTER we #FlattenTheCurve of new #coronavirus cases...but that *may* already be happening (thread).

Cautious optimism: we *may* have passed the peak of new daily US #coronavirus cases, and are now seeing *less* new #COVID19 cases each day for the past few days.

Sadly, the daily death toll will continue to rise for another ~2-3 weeks, as it takes time for people to succumb.

As warned, #NewYork’s daily #COVID19 death toll continues to rise, as new #coronavirus cases *appear* to be decreasing.

#NJ had a record-high death toll, and cases continue to surge. #WA appears to be heating up again.

Other states *may* be flattening, but are they testing

The US *may* have flattened the curve of new #COVID19 cases. If so, daily deaths should start to flatten in ~2 weeks.

*But* I am concerned that we are vastly UNDERESTIMATING the true trends in #coronavirus cases due to insufficient testing outside #NY. https://twitter.com/DrDenaGrayson/status/1247686135356305409?s=20
