Daily deaths is clearly stabilizing, with the 7-day average below 2,000 per day for 2 weeks. The Coronavirus Dashboard is also showing the same trend, roughly flat for the last two weeks, although the cumulative deaths is a bit higher (as noted yesterday). Both tracking sites are showing an estimated death rate of 0.1%, the same as the CDC estimates for seasonal flu. Approximately 80.4% of the U.S. population is estimated not to have been infected. The real unknown is the percentage of the U.S. population that have not been exposed. That would be a huge 'tell' if it could be known.
As a side note, about 60,000 people have died since January of illnesses where the coronavirus may have been at least a contributing factor. During the 96 days since January 1st, 691,200 Americans have lost their lives from all causes.
