One hopefully positive indicator is that yesterday new daily deaths in the US were lower than the day before (49 vs 57) [0].
Obviously it's only one day so time will tell if that means anything or a pattern occurs. As others have said, the stats for number of people affected is so closely linked to testing rates which have been increasing that this could be a more indicative metric to follow.

- marvin 7y agoI'm sorry to say it, but that's just noise in the data. The death numbers in the United States will follow an exponential curve for a long time yet. Two weeks would be the absolute minimum before the shutdowns have an effect, but I think a month or two is a more realistic hope.
