We’re bending the curve!

 

This is what our effort to bend the curve looks like.

 

We bent the curve to a straight line, but that straight line hasn’t wavered in weeks.  Our total cases are increasing by the same amount every day.  So far, any progress in the hard-hit areas that are getting the most attention is offset by hotspots popping up in other places all over the country. 

 

Do we ever get to bend the straight line?  Could it be that this is the new normal; the same number of new cases every day indefinitely?

 

 

Just for the record, in one or two more days, as many people will have died in the U.S. from the coronavirus over a period of nine weeks; as U.S. soldiers were killed in Viet Nam in twelve years.
