New York might also be catching up with the actual cases. It'll be 2-3 weeks before we'll know for sure whether or not NY has bent the curve.
Also, the 1,000th American to die from COVID will very likely pass before dawn tomorrow. The 2,000th will be early this weekend.

But yeah, he's doing everything he can to fight it. 
Really?

Doing nothing is estimated at 140,000 deaths just in my home state of Massachusetts. Social distancing which barely anyone is actually following is 103,000. Both have 70%+ of the population getting it. I'm in the 18-49 male range that is 3x as likely to be hospitalized aka die than other in the range.
400,000 American soldiers died in World War 2. That's how many will die just in New England in the next 6 months because no one cares about anything other than themselves. Certain people here have proven that all too well.
Steven Page with a song he wrote called Isolation, sounding good even now while in isolation!
And here's a video with Canadian Astronaut Chris Hadfield.

This is pretty much the end of society as we knew it. It will continue on but never be the same.
How in hell did he get a test when we can't get testing for the doctors and nurses on the front line.
Uh...he's royalty. They don't play by the same rules as us.
I have the same with my knee, yesterday the hospital called to say that they can't make an x-ray from my knee. And today the physiotherapy called that I couldn't come for my knee assessment, because of the corona virus.
I think that if I was royal, they would have helped me before the accident of something.

“Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me. They possess and enjoy early, and it does something to them, makes them soft where we are hard, and cynical where we are trustful, in a way that, unless you were born rich, it is very difficult to understand. They think, deep in their hearts, that they are better than we are because we had to discover the compensations and refuges of life for ourselves. Even when they enter deep into our world or sink below us, they still think that they are better than we are. They are different. ”--F. Scott Fitzgerald
This bloody country, that was one testing kit that could have been given to one doctor or nurse, the people that really need them at this time and morso that they are in such dire need in the NHS and around the world.
Lol yup. Sorry you didn't come out of the right vagina.This bloody country, that was one testing kit that could have been given to one doctor or nurse, the people that really need them at this time and morso that they are in such dire need in the NHS and around the world.
538 did a meta analysis on experts predictions for Coronavirus deaths and the median they found was more around 200,000.
I'm not sure where they get those death figures from. They seem like they're based on the death rate of *reported* cases, not all cases, which (When hospitals are not overloaded) is estimated around 0.9%.

Right sorry, when I said social distancing, as a Californian I actually meant shelter in place, since we have been in that condition for over a week now.
What are you guys seeing in your states? Here in Los Angeles, I wouldn't say people are taking everything dead seriously, but still the social changes are HUGE. There are still cars on the roads, but I'd say at least 75% if not more fewer. In the evening, probably 90% fewer.
This is near where the 405 meets the 22 freeway in Seal Beach, California, immediately to the northwest of where I live in Huntington Beach. It's the busiest stretch of freeway in the country, handling ~375,000 cars and trucks per year.
This is typical weekday traffic:
And this is what it looks like now with the shelter-in-place rule in effect in California:
A little further south in Huntington Beach:
And here's the Huntington Beach Pier and the beaches, although a lot of idiots are ignoring the order and going to the beach anyway:

Yeah this is what I am seeing too... And yet all the projections say that we're still going to be seeing New York numbers in 6 days... So does this stuff just not work at all?
It works, but it takes time. A lot of people already had caught the virus before being locked down. And some of them are going to spread the virus to other family members sharing their lockdowns.
Today's numbers from Italy look... is "OK" appropriate when the death toll is stabilizing at 700 dead every day out of a population of 60 million? That's a bit worse than having 9/11 happen every day, proportionally speaking.
