That's exactly what I meant in my above. He knows how government works, he knows how to use it to full advantage and he articulated such in a small space of time.

The number of recovered gives me hope. I hope they keep reporting it.

/u/MrTemple estimates actual US COVID-19 infections from confirmed cases. Granted it's a guy just doing math, but he makes a compelling case for the rate of infections in the US:
tl;dr - Lots of back-of-the-envelope speculations happening, users provide quotes from Drs estimating various numbers.
I'm hoping the whole #flattenthecurve thing is actually making a difference.

It could be a thing. Lots of researchers are working on it. Still to early to tell.
A couple of other things:
1. The phase 1 vaccine trial mentioned in the article began today.
2. We don't know how much immunity COVID-19 occurs or how long it lasts. If I recall correctly, Coronaviruses tend to confer relatively short-lived immunity. So it might not be possible to develop herd immunity without help from a vaccine.
3. There is a fifth possible ending: it doesn't really end. It becomes endemic in the population and flares up from time to time.
The Daily Beast would not be my preferred source for pandemic information, but the interview is with an epidemiologist who sounds in with what epidemiologists are saying.
