The situation is looking better, ... somewhat.
The future is still a bit hazy.
If the numbers reported by JHU are correct and accurate:
Earlier today:
Confirmed Cases: 73,335
Recovered: 12,706
Deaths: 1,873
________
Total Resolved Cases: 14,579
Death Rate is still dropping, now down to about 13% - has dropped another 5%, or so, since my last calculation.
On 2/1/'20 total Confirmed cases were about 14.3k.
From that:
There are still about 59k unresolved cases - still infected with the virus.
Confirmed cases were probably in progress at the time of confirmation.
The virus infection appears to last about 3 weeks or more before resolution.
After the spike in confirmations a few days ago, new cases look to be slowing down.
The prognosis does look to be good.
But, the numbers affected are still very high, and the danger of a pandemic is still very geat.
I do not know the accuracy or truthfulness of the sources, but I do think this virus will end up being one of the usual pneumonia types in our future.
An effective vaccine is still a very far distance in the future.
Until one is available, your best bet is to keep yourself healthy.
Many if not most deaths are probably because of secondary infections compounding the virus infection.
The natural order for this type of thing is for the young and older to be the most susceptible.
With the higher numbers of people retiring to Hawaii, It could begin another increase when it does finally gets here.
The cities would probably be the most likely infection centers.
If people don't start fleeing the cities, Puna will probably be a good place to be.

Was a Democrat until gun control became a knee jerk, then a Republican until the crazies took over, back to being a nonpartisan again.
This time, I can no longer participate in the primary.
