Around the US, states and cities are gradually starting to pull back on stay-at-home orders so that economies can start opening up again. It’s less about having seen a steady drop in coronavirus case numbers than a feeling that if people adhere to social distancing and hygiene guidelines, the virus should be manageable going forward. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has quietly adjusted its internal estimates upward regarding how many people are expected to die from the coronavirus — some 3,000 Americans a day through June 1, with President Trump himself during a TV appearance on Sunday night now putting the total figure at closer to 100,000, up from 65,000.
