The numbers show that the USA is still in the early stages, while Italy may be at or past it's worst.
I don’t know freedom I can’t say you are wrong but Italy just reported it’s highest death rate in one day. They don’t seem to think they are at the end. Italy is saying the death may be higher than reported as so many people are dying at home untested. So what, I think we are 13 days behind Italy? Don’t quote me on that. This whole thing really sucks. Here we are talking numbers saying oh your next, but think of all the families or the poor bastards who died alone. What’s going to happen is going to happen. I hope the us morality rate doesn’t jump 8-9% but my crystal ball broke. Early on during this thing an Israeli biotech company reported they found this virus in poultry and had been working on it prior to breaking out. They said they could produce a vaccine in 3 months. Not saying they would have the doses ready for injection but the vaccine itself. That was on Bloomberg financial news, I’ve heard nothing more about it.
Italy's death rate now may be past it's peak with 756 today compared to over 900 a couple of days ago. Still very high, but it will get better.

US cases and deaths are still increasing every day, and will probably peak by the end of this week and decline slowly during the rest of April.
