Re: Less than 25,000 U.S. deaths in June, with 3 days to go.
The death rate will be operating under somewhat different dynamics with the increased testing alone.
Not alone. The increased testing is insufficient to explain the increased cases. And the death rate will likely be a smaller percentage since the percentage of relatively young people getting the disease is larger than before.
But the increase in cases will lead to the number of deaths increasing more than it has in the last month or so.
I saw a graph which was very informative but can't find it now. The number of new tests has been increasing roughly linearly over the last three months, whereas the number of new cases rose, then plateaued, then rose precipitously. Therefore the increase in testing does not solely account for the increase in cases.

The last three weeks, I have seen more admissions and sicker patients than on the previous ten weeks, explained Joseph Varon, the chief medical officer at the United Memorial Medical Center. So it’s been an exponential increase on the severity of illness and in the number of cases we admit.
Tanna Ingraham, an ICU nurse who works at the facility, told Marquez that she recently came down with the disease and warned people that it should be taken very seriously.
I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy, she said, before describing the intense pain she’s experiencing all over her body.

Found the graph.
Little or no correlation between number of tests and number of cases.

I’m hearing that Abbott built in a huge loophole in his shutdown policy to allow elective surgeries in TMC and affiliates as long as the hospitals have enough capacity. Apparently enough capacity is pretty damn vague. Methodist Hospital even sent out a don’t worry, be happy post on Thursday that they had plenty of room and elective surgeries (translated very profitable. As I’m sure is a complete coincidence, TMC simultaneously halted realtime reporting of COVID-19 case rates and ICU capacity utilization in Houston. Hmm.

Re: COVID 19 By The Numbers
I'm scared silly. I have every indicator for a really bad infection.
Whereas yoots have Covid-19 parties with a cash prize for the first person to show symptoms. Alabama students throwing 'COVID parties' to see who gets infected: Officials - ABC News.
