(Note: Real numbers are higher. Because of the testing shortage, many people still cannot get tested, and are sent home. I can't find the link right now, but I saw that Boston and Detroit are seeing double the usual number of "died at home" cases. It is not known if they are testing the bodies for the # virus.)
