Doubt you meant it this way, but double equals signs actually denotes NOT equals.

You don't have to guess. Just look at the model. So far it has a very good track record. Thankfully, it looks like we're close to peaking in terms of the number of daily deaths and new infections but we're several weeks away from seeing a notable downward trend. For the next few weeks daily death and hospital use will probably more or less remain constant. After that it starts declining. Slowly if we insist on opening things back up, more rapidly if we use masks and have rapid vaccine rollout. The projection only goes until May 1 but if enough people get vaccinated we might have very few daily deaths by the summer. I long for the time when the authorities say it's been 2 or 3 months since the last confirmed covid-19 case in the US.It may be wishful thinking, or that *I* am not following the stats closely enough, but I *think* over the past week the number of NEW cases has dropped off nationally, slightly. Hopefully we have peaked. BUT the number of new cases has increased so rapidly this year, the number of hospitalizations may not yet have caught up, and the following number of deaths.
Let's hope that the hospitals can keep up, and eventually catch a breath. In some areas, it is fairly likely that some hospitals will have to ration care, which will drive up the death rate. Scary!

I wonder if we're at a plateau, or better?
1. The people that have been staying locked in at home this long aren't going to change now, so they continue to be safe
2. Those very susceptible got it and unfortunately succumbed to the virus
3. The rest of us going about our daily business either got it and didn't even know, or dealt with the symptoms for a few days. I had a few co-workers go to the local pharmacy for a $25 antibody test and amazingly (or not) most did have it in the past without knowing.
4. And now we can start adding in those who are vaccinated...albeit a slow as molasses pace.
This is something we have seen in residential construction for at least the past ten years. I have two Steril-Aire RSE II installed (one per coil per FAU). Was meant to reduce coil maintenance, limited as a germicidal measure in the home. I had the same RSE II units installed in my previous home. American Ultraviolet sells similar units.High intensity UV lights retrofitted into ventilation systems in building/planes ect.. will likely be fitted into our world.\
