Those cases are overblown and account for a tiny percent of total cases and deaths.
I do believe the current case panic is over the top. Of course those numbers were going to go up. We are testing more with more sensitive tests with some state economies opened up.
Even with that, the number of US cases has declined over the last 5 weeks (flat this week from prior week). US daily deaths have been on a steady downward trend for the same 5 straight weeks. Hospitals have plenty of capacity.
My stance is the middle of the road between you and Shaun. It is far more serious than them flu but not so serious at the current time that the economy needs to be further decimated. Overall, key metrics are positive at the current time.
