What's the difference between that and experts having said that they estimate much higher numbers since the beginning?

...because why wouldn't you provide a source in the first place? :roll:

Anyways, attempts of isolation would and still did help with slowing down further spread.
Tbh, I couldn't be bothered to work out how to paste a link on my phone lol
If an android phone:

1) Tap and hold on the adress or text you want to copy, until the dialog options appear. (Either it lists "copy" or shows an icon similar to a set od two pages behind each other, tap on that)
2) Tap and hold where you want to paste the copy, until the dialog options appear and then tap "paste"

Sorry if I come across a bit harsh, but not providing sources is a big nono.

3 McDonald's workers hurt after customer attack over coronavirus limits, Oklahoma police say

Three workers at an Oklahoma City McDonald's were injured Wednesday by gunfire and a scuffle that appeared to have started because the restaurant's dining area was closed for social distancing during the coronavirus pandemic, police said.

[...]

The victims, two females and a male — two of them 17 — were hospitalized and in non-life-threatening condition, she said. Two customers, a man and a woman, were in custody.

US field hospitals set up for Covid 19 are being shut down. Most haven't seen any patients.

Note, I'm just putting this out there as good news, without implication that setting up the hospitals was stupid. Projections were all over the place, something not uncommon with a new disease.

Might mean we've reached peak intensity, and there could be drop-off in the months to come.
