No methodology is an unerring crystal ball. But there are tools that can help us see trends, which are indicators. Nothing more. Growth Factor is a staple in the epidemiology tool belt. And in this particular case, using this particular tool, a clear trend is evident.

Nothing can tell us if the trend will continue. There are too many changing factors that can greatly affect it (loosening of distancing, travel restrictions, etc). But the GF trend, which I believe is a positive and direct result of distancing and state/local shutdowns, does continue, barring any new explosive hot spot a la New York, I believe it is very possible that we as a nation will reach the peak of the bell curve in the very near future. That’s not based on hope. That’s based on statistical tools.

I’ve not looked at any particular regional trends (New Jersey, Alabama, etc), nor made any predictions regarding them.

But to each, his or her own. I’m not selling anything.
I wasn't criticizing you - I enjoy your perspective. I apologize if i came off that way.

If you read yahoo, you would know that we are testing tons of "celebrities" that are barely showing any signs of sickness at all.
The poor are disposable. The wealthy and powerful are not.

Everyone Wants an Antibody Test. Everyone on This Private Island Can Get One.

MIAMI — Things are different in Fisher Island, the exclusive enclave off Miami Beach that is one of the wealthiest places in America. No uninvited outsiders are allowed in. Entrance is permitted only by boat.
And everyone who lives or works there can now get tested to see if they have developed protective antibodies to the coronavirus.

The island has secured the much-sought-after tests for all its residents and their staff through the University of Miami, which has a clinic on site that started scheduling residents last week for appointments, building by building, for a finger-***** blood test. In a matter of minutes, each person learned their results. Home health aides and housekeepers also got tested.
 
this is where we are
