There will be still be a few coronavirus cases in the very near future. The dismantling of the temporary hospitals and the infrequent use of the hospital ships is telling.
Define 'a few' for us, please Darren. Maybe a couple of thousand new cases before it all goes away?
Enquiring minds want to know.
FWIW, my guess is that in the US there will be a further 40,000+ deaths before the end of June. I hope that I am wrong and you are right, Darren. We're maybe on the downslope of the curve but I think it has a very long tail.
Nearly 70 residents sickened with the coronavirus have died at a Massachusetts home for aging veterans, as state and federal officials try to figure out what went wrong in the deadliest known outbreak at a long-term care facility in the U.S.
death toll at the state-run Holyoke Soldiers' Home continues to climb, federal officials are investigating whether residents were denied proper medical care and the state's top prosecutor is deciding whether to bring legal action.
“It's horrific,” said Edward Lapointe, whose father-in-law lives at the home and had a mild case of the virus. “These guys never had a chance."
Sixty-eight veteran residents who tested positive for the virus have died, officials said Tuesday, and it's not known whether another person who died had COVID-19. Another 82 residents and 81 employees have tested positive.
The home's superintendent, who's been placed on administrative leave, has defended his response and accused state officials of falsely claiming they were unaware of the scope of the problem there.
“If you trust in yourself, and believe in your dreams, and follow your star. . . you'll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren't so lazy.”

You can stay in the bleachers and cheer. The show has already packed up and left ... in a manner of speaking.
You told us on April 28 (maybe it was Doc who told us - it's a little unclear) that there would be a few CoV cases in the future. By that date according to these guys there had been 56,245 US deaths and by today there have been 88,754. That's 32,509 additional deaths in under three weeks.
The new cases trend is certainly down - around 25,000 per day from a max of a little over 30,000.
Do you and/or Doc stick to your original statements?

On the day I posted that, the death toll was 56,245 in the US, according to Johns Hopkins. I said then that there would be another 40,000 deaths before the end of June. Clearly I was very wrong in my estimates as we have now reached 100,000 before the beginning of June.
She [just to clarify; 'she' here is Doc] agrees that the pandemic is in its death throes even though the media would have you believe otherwise.
Darren: Doc may be a wonderful and skilled vet but she clearly knows fuck all about this epidemic.
