By this time next week,life will start going back to normal.
I think they used New York numbers as the baseline to project the entire USA. A model put 6 days ago forecasting about how New York hospitals would be on 1 April 2020 was off the mark by a factor of 4. But anyway we wait and see.
Would wish that but their numbers keep rising and their rate of testing is below 30%
Precisely...plus you have not considered that the entire midwest testing rate is under 10%
Not possible. Wait for your immunity certificate so you can be declared fit to go back to work.

By the weekend we'll see a decline in infections and an increase in recoveries... I hope.

and also a discovery of a better cure
As in the models were off the mark by a factor of 4 in that 6 days ago (post lockdown) the model had said that on 1st April New York will have 50,000 hospitalizations. But yesterday there were 12,000 hospitalizations. So the question on peoples minds is if NY was the basis and it's off the mark by a huge margin, what about the other states

This is a generalized statement that does not consider different healthcare systems in various nations affected.

A good number of countries are on lockdown so I think after 2 weeks we will see a decline on new infection cases
Its fearful. My mind refuses to accept the scenario when I crank the numbers on New York alone. I feverishly hope we are all wrong
The big question is when do people come out of the lockdowns?

This is an impossible question to answer even by the Chinese who claim to be getting back to some normality.
We'll have to wait for them to make any conclusions.
What terrifies me is that African countries have not even drawn their graphs never mind studied their curves!
NY receives many hundreds of thousands of Chinese tourists. They only closed their borders recently. It is therefore reasonable to suspect that the virus has already spread unnoticed in the healthy population.

And may I ask you,the experts,what is the situation go be in our beloved Kenya? Or is the US situation more important?
Kenya has a fair chance at tackling this pandemic. We have decades of experience when it comes to treatment and management of infectious diseases like TB and HIV. We also have excellent facilities and superb medical personnel managers, the likes of Col. (Rtd) Cyrus Oguna, Director General MOH and Dr. Loise Ombajo, Head of Infectious Disease Unit, KNH etc. We can kick corona...that is if the government put its shit together
