This week is already proving to be one of the weirdest ones yet in the slow-rolling, deadly saga of the coronavirus pandemic that’s kneecapped daily life in the US like few catastrophes that have come before. Deaths and hospitalizations are still continuing their slow, steady rise in some states. Governors of some states are trying to formalize a process around deciding how to reopen their economies, while the CDC and FEMA have drafted a reopening blueprint of their own for the whole country. Meantime, President Trump on Monday claimed the decision was his, and that he has “total” authority as president. And down in Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis, who’s drawn fire for moving too slowly in responding to the crisis in his state, has also raised eyebrows for trying to describe the WWE as an essential business.
In the real world, though? Most states still haven’t even hit their peak of hospitalizations and deaths from the coronavirus yet. We know that, because the latest modeling gives a pretty good indication of how soon you can expect the worst of the crisis to hit in your area.
