There is data that shows you are on to something. New York, Italy, Spain

all got hammered in the first wave. Now they appear to be done, at least for the moment. States like Florida, Texas and Arizona never finished their first wave and are now getting hammered. What I'm hoping that means is that they will follow a similar curve to New York, Italy and Spain. Logic says that there will be fewer deaths in these new hot spots because treatment is improving. Here's hoping that a couple of months from now, the new hot spots are done.
