Are We On a Permanent COVID Plateau?

Are we on a longterm COVID plateau? Italy and Spain have seen daily cases drop to 10% or less of their peaks. They peaked less than 2 weeks before the US. Ours have barely fallen at all. Expanded testing accounts for some of that but not all. Not most. https://t.co/HEqcKoRqrT

Nate Silver today:

I'm uncertain about a lot of things re: what will happen in the US on COVID. But some of the models show the chance of a long plateau... i.e. once we get down to ~1,000 deaths/day, we might stay there for a while. That seems plausible to me. https://t.co/Qxu8rSPoV1 pic.twitter.com/ZVlUvzdzJL

If you are frightened of Corona please read this! It will help. Let me know your view: strongly agree or disagree? https://t.co/4x15rL3ax1
