While the rate of growth stays steady, COVID-19 cases in the U.S. hit new milestones, with more than 800,000 reported cases and 40,00 deaths, a mortality rate of 5 percent.

As global coronavirus cases reach 2.5 million, states slowly start to reopen, raising fears and creating opportunities.

Reported COVID-19 cases in the U.S. have now exceeded three quarters of a million and there have been more than 36,000 deaths.

The coronavirus data appears to be improving across the board as cases slow and the curve begins to slope downhill.

COVID-19 is killing a couple thousand people per day in the U.S., but the shutdown is killing far more jobs and companies. The battlefield is shifting from the hospital to Main Street as protests increase.

Deaths in the U.S. exceeded 2,000 again, which may squash public outcry at governors extending their stay home orders just as the Trump team announce their three-phase plan to reopen the economy.

Death may be continuing to rise in the U.S., but this image reassures me that the peak is behind us. It took a more than a month to climb; it will take a long time to get back down.

COVID-19 cases reported in the United States eclipsed 600,000 and global cases edged over 2 million as of this morning, April 15, 2020.

A week or so ago in this quarantine diary, I said that I knew someone who’s colleague at work had tested positive, but that is the closest we have come to it. That is no longer the case.

While cases appear to be on the decline, it’s important to recognize that winning the battle is not equivalent to winning the war. The coronavirus remains a deadly enemy and if we let our guard down, it could claw its way back.
