The overall numbers that include asymptomatic carriers don’t mean much beyond the fact that they can spread the virus unknowingly. At the end of all this it will show the lethality to be lower but right now the only thing that matters are the number of cases capable of progressing to serious/critical and the impact that will have on health care resources.
If you look at California so far today they are trending in the right direction but I fear that leaving beaches open as late as last week is going to result in another spike. I don’t understand why people can’t grasp how congregating now is what causes this to explode later.
But the steps that have been taken seem to be helping as the rate of spread is slowing day over day. Need to see where we are in a week to get a better grasp on it.
