I am starting to become optomistic that we may see the worst of this malady here in the next week or two.  I just read that the mortality rate here in the U.S. is currently running about .3 percent, which is higher than most annual flu viruses but much less than the 2-5 percent that some experts were predicting.  Hopefully, some of the experimental treatments will prove successful and drive the mortality rate even lower, at least until a vaccine can be developed.  I am not sure how much more social distancing I can stomach!
