Still two and one-half hour to go at the time this post was started.
Deaths
Both on Johns Hopkins' site and the Washington Post's there have been more Deaths today than yesterday and the number is approaching the unofficial line between "bad" and "good" of 1,000.
From Hopkins:
The U.S. has a higher mortality rate than twelve of the twenty most affected countries and a lower rate than seven.
From WaPo:
WaPo's seven-day average Deaths line has been wavily down since the second to third week in April.
Cases
On both sites there have been more Cases of Trump Virus today than yesterday, and the day before, and the day before that, and the day before that--since June 6.
From Hopkins:
Hopkins' five-day average Cases line has been jaggedly, clearly down since about April 1.

From Hopkins:
Mortality in the most affected countries
Differences in mortality numbers can be caused by:
- Differences in the number of people tested: With more testing, more people with milder cases are identified. This lowers the case-fatality ratio.
- Demographics: For example, mortality tends to be higher in older populations.
- Characteristics of the healthcare system: For example, mortality may rise as hospitals become overwhelmed and have fewer resources.
- Other factors, many of which remain unknown.

WaPo:
WaPo's seven-day Cases line is wavily, clearly down since peak in mid-April but has been pretty straight since May 28's seven-day average. Then, preceding a steep drop it was another pretty straight line, May 20-23 inclusive, and then another one April 17-23. WaPo's seven-day case line has been pretty straight since May 16.
I trust that the adjectives used above are not too "technical." You are welcome.
