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?
