Is there stats that show how many tests done in the US. I'm curious to know if were at the peak or if were just capped by the number of tests.

New York, might have "peaked" or is just at it. Something like 18,000 hospitalised (at once), and 4700 in ICU beds (in use). A far cry from the 110,000 hospitalised, and 30,000 ventilators, they where predicting as a worst case situation. Also alot of people, that are just "borderline" needing to be hospitalised, but they get a "air tank" and are being sent home. (again this points to maybe things arnt as serious, as they expected them to be)

Maybe that's the case but this week we've started using trade showcenters and public parks as hospital space and areas to store the dead.
