It seems like a lot of the "hot spots" have hit a point where things suddenly start to drop rapidly. Perhaps once things start to get really dire people start taking social distancing very seriously?
I think there's also likely SOME impact to "herd immunity" in isolated groups as well. For example, it's hard to imagine that there are many hospital workers in NYC right now who haven't already been exposed to it. Again, that doesn't necessarily help the nation as a whole unless we just let it run wild, but it might be an indicator that there's some limit to growth.
