Looking at the current trend, we have seen 10x the amount of deaths in the USA every 10 days.

Right now we stand at 3k deaths, so in 10 days on April 10th, the number dead in the USA will be 30k

On April 20th, the number dead in the USA will be 300k

After April 20th, the curve should start to flatten because there is no way we would jump to 3MIL deaths by April 30th.

This means we should peak by April 25th and start to come down by then.

The total deaths in the USA should end up between 400k-600k

Society will start to re-open by May 15th
