(2)On April 1st I took a screenshot of the total death projection from the healthdata Website. Some 5000 had already died.

For me it was hard to believe that according to the projection there were 90tsd deaths to follow until August 4. 2/4

(3)It came worse. The forecast mark of 93tsd was hit 10 weeks early on May 19. The current projection for the US has been adjusted to 143tsd deaths until August 4 (10 weeks from now!)

With less than 5% of the population infected the US are just at the beginning of this pandemic.

(4)Don´t be fooled by America´s flattening curve and take #covid19 seriously.

I know this feels like we are through with it but we are not.

Also realize that what you do to spread this disease DOES matter a lot and will help save lives. Many lives. 4/4 https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/05/06/opinion/coronavirus-deaths-statistics.html?action=click&module=RelatedLinks&pgtype=Article
