the US has been steadily unlocking since the third week of april.

time at work is still down, but grocery is normal, retail/restaurant is only down about 15% (vs down 50), and time at home was only 3% above baseline for the weekend of the 13th-14th.
deaths per day have dropped ~75% since april and (despite the test reporting artifacts that generate that sine curve) are making new lows.

please keep this in mind the next time the panic patrol cherry picks some corner case in the data.
also note that the US data is day of report, not date of actual death, so it lags a fair bit and skews death days forward, so reality is likely better.

the top is what US reports, the bottom is what real curves would look like.
