Here's today's update after yesterday's royal New York political screw-up from yesterday. The Coronavirus Dashboard's change from posting Serious cases to Tested cases didn't help any, although it (thankfully) didn't screw up the charts. I've deleted the April 14th data (black vertical arrows), since it was clearly bad (for example, total U.S. deaths today were less than yesterday, so some New Yorkers have come back from the dead), and the data for the 15th (today) has had to be interpolated. Nevertheless trends (to the extent you can believe them) are still down, though I won't fully trust them until I have another 3-4 days of consistent data.
The projected deaths chart is still the declining trend (although the numbers for the 14th and 15th had to be interpolated to be consistent with the plots). It won't be trustworthy again for at least another 3-4 days, assuming other states don't follow New York's lead and massage their own datasets.
By the way, 99.03% of the U.S. population is still coronavirus free.
