Most hospitals in the U.S. are only starting to reach the point of ICU overcapacity, staff shortages, and ventilators. Italy and Spain are about 1-2 weeks ahead of the U.S.

That makes sense top of my head. Hospitals overfilled with patients and understaffed with medical pros and resources means more sick people will go untreated and hence higher probability of deaths. So if what you state holds water then in two/three weeks we should be seeing the rate go up drastically. Right in time for the economy to be “raring” to go according the nations leaders and imbecile in chief
