As of 2020-04-17 18:00 EDT (US-Eastern), #USA #coronavirus stats:
* 699,850 #COVID-19 confirmed cases
* 37,242 confirmed deaths (in 47 days)
* Case Fatality Rate (CFR) rises to 5.3%
* Of the 96,384 cases with an outcome:
- 59,142 (61%) discharged / recovered
- 37,242 (39%) deaths

See https://nitter.net/BryanDawsonUSA/status/1251272919176687616

(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 #SARS-COV-2 virus.)
