I am sure one of you was going to post this

I posted the prediction yesterday and I challenged it.
On April 4th we passed 34k new cases, but the next day (Sunday) was way down - 25k. When I talked about that lower number, I expressed the hope that it was the start of a reversal of fortune.
But I also pointed out that March 31 had a huge bump from the day before. So, now I will point out to you that in the days after March 31, it climbed to new height.
April 4 was a low, if not quite as low as March 31st. The numbers since the 4th have grown more than those after March 31st. I think it is way to premature to say that they are "trending down," even ignoring the reports from the coroners. Still, today's a little lower than yesterday, if still more than 6k ahead of April 4. And today's deaths are only a little higher than yesterday's, remaining 45% higher than two days ago - and setting a new high for what is currently the greatest cause of death in the country.
Maybe it will level off at a mere 1940 deaths per day for a while. Maybe the Death Rate to Case Completion Rate will die down from its new high of 39+%. We can hope.
