I find it interesting that the number of deaths seems to fall quite dramatically every Monday - perhaps a function of lesser reporting on weekends? I am more interested to see whether the recent downward trend continues now that many states are reopening and it seems many have little to no regard for social distancing, mask wearing, or staying home. Truly frightening pictures of crowds being shown this weekend.

I think perhaps, whether as a function of increased testing or increased interaction, we will see more infection, reflected as higher numbers. I wonder if, when those infected tend to be younger people, we will still see fewer deaths, and perhaps fewer hospital/ICU stays? Or will the infection numbers rise so dramatically that there will be no decrease?

@sueinmn. I am watching the morning news and I'm seeing beaches filled with people, there were over 1300 people waiting to get into a water park in Texas, and a nightclub with wall to wall people. This is very scary to me. I don't think we can really get an accurate number. In my county, they report a gross number of people infected but they are not reporting the numbers of people who had recovered. I would like to see a "net" number.

There is definitely a weekly cycle which I assume is due to less reporting over weekend. I too am worried about lack of social distancing this holiday weekend and expect to see rise in cases and deaths over the next few weeks.
