The upper chart shows recorded deaths and cases in the US. Deaths are definitely rising faster than my March 22 predictions. Unless we do more to slow the spread there will be more than 30,000 deaths in the US by Easter.

The center chart shows recorded deaths and cases outside China now falling slightly below my March 22 predictions for 310,000 deaths worldwide by Easter.

The lower chart (which is linear, not logarithmic, like the upper two) shows recorded US deaths/day and cases/day plotted with my predictions from March 22. I have added a trendline and equation for the recorded deaths/day. The trendline is of low reliability, but clearly shows actual deaths/day are occurring faster than my predictions.

IF THE TREND CONTINUES, BY THE END OF NEXT WEEK (April 4th, 2020) THE US WILL BE EXPERIENCING 1,400 DEATHS/DAY.

I urge everyone to help change the shape of these curves. Stay at home if your job is not critical to your country’s recovery. Thank God for the brave men and women who must go out to keep their nations safe and supplied.
