The US had its highest number of coronavirus deaths so far today: 2,482. New York had 752, New Jersey 351, Connecticut 197, Michigan 153, and Massachusetts 151. Only 6 states did not have a coronavirus death today.

The number of new confirmed coronavirus cases in the US picked up today to just over +30k, its highest in several days.

14 states now have over 10k confirmed cases. Nine states have less than 1,000 confirmed cases. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

The rate of increase in active cases appears to have slowed a bit, but they are still on a clear upward trajectory.

Remember all the clamor when the IHME model was revised downwards from ~80k to 60k total US deaths by August? Well, based on the latest data, it's been revised back upwards to 69k.

The point isn't that any of these are solid predictions you can hang your hat on, just that the situation is still somewhat fluid.

We are two days past the projected peak in daily US deaths, and we are still hitting slightly higher new peaks above 2k.

We are five days past the projected peak in daily NY deaths, and though deaths have fallen off a bit, so far it's nowhere near the steeper decline the model projects (595 projected today, vs. 752 actual)

But given the decline in hospitalizations, there is some hope that the NY deaths should come down more soon.
