Hello Turgid Member,
Hey man, I am looking at the statistics and the general trend is still down.
In fact the CDC is still forecasting a downtrend nationwide.

I would love to be wrong here. I don't want to see these numbers start going up any more than anyone else. I hope I am wrong.
The CDC site was last updated on Mar 24th.
This thread is based on data I saw for Mar 25th.
It does not appear to have tracked the CDC prediction of continued decline. Instead, the numbers reversed and began to rise yesterday. We will see if that continues or if it's just a hiccup. I have a bad feeling, though. And I have been tracking the progress rather closely for nearly a year now in my thread
Corona Virus Peak Watch Thread.
One thing to note. The data in Worldometer, the site used for that thread, have always exceeded the CDC numbers. Worldometer uses many sources for data, including the CDC.
Florida alone had +5,773 New Cases yesterday.
btw, for those who think California is doing no better under Democratic leadership, California had +2491 New Cases yesterday. And California has nearly double the population of Florida. So much for that argument.
The USA had +67,046 New Cases yesterday.
There were also more people in Serious or Critical condition yesterday in the USA than the day before.
