Crazy how that's the most so far but they announced today that New York for the first time had a decrease in new cases and deaths yet the death toll is sopposed to peak sometime between the end of this week and the end of next week...

We're gonna start seeing that influx of other cities & clusters, and other cities like NY are going to be at max capacity & making those life/death decisions like Italy, Spain, France.
Our serious/critical are around 8-9000.
That NY drop is temporary, we'll probably see a big jump in a few days, thrn back down again as the ventilators roll in.
It'd be nice if they recalibrated them too so as not to kill more more people by just pumping air into their lungs.

there are plateaus that reflect earlier limits in testing capacity. You'll here estimates that the body count is 2X the official, and that it's 1/2 the official. The important thing is to look at the trend of doubling twice every week. When it starts doubling every 5 or 10 days, it's coming under control. Everything else is spurts in uncontrolled variables.

from Worldometer:

An estimated additional 180 - 195 deaths per day occurring at home in New York City due to COVID-19 are not being counted in the official figures. "Early on in this crisis we were able to swab people who died at home, and thus got a coronavirus reading. But those days are long gone. We simply don't have the testing capacity for the large numbers dying at home. Now only those few who had a test confirmation *before* dying are marked as victims of coronavirus on their death certificate. This almost certainly means we are undercounting the total number of victims of this pandemic," said Mark Levine, Chair of New York City Council health committee [source]
