U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams said on "Fox News Sunday" that the next week will be "the hardest and the saddest week of most Americans' lives" — calling it our "our Pearl Harbor moment, our 9/11 moment" — as the projected death toll from the coronavirus pandemic surges.
The US curve is not flattening yet. However the rate of increase has stopped increasing, which is good. This means the increase is now coming at a more constant pace, rather than exponential.
The curve is flattening. If the "rate of increase has stopped increasing", as you said, then the curve is flattening. It is still exponential, and the exponent is now smaller than it used to be.
We are now up to around a thousand people in the US dying each day. The number has been going up daily and is likely to soon get much worse in the coming days.
The lockdown on Luzon (Manila) was initiated by President Duterte and then copied by the other provinces.
The ones that matter to me are Cebu where I have to fly to, and Palawan where I have a home and fiance.
Perhaps you are right that there is a corner of Philippines that is not under a lockdown, however, I am not aware of it.
I am updated regularly from Palawan as to exactly what is going on and they are most certainly under a very strong lock down. Curfew is 8 pm and my fiance has to carry a pass to go replenish the family grocery store.
That basically means the lockdown will continue in the other provinces too.
This talk of cities in the Philippines begs the question are American's prepared to being forced to go to the Barangay Captain (sort of a neighborhood Mayor) to get a pass for one family member to be on the street to go to a market?

And we are only as effective as the stupidest person. I can't tell if it is a governors, the president or a religious leaders wanting to still do large gatherings.
One good data point in Cuomo's briefing today he said 74% of those admitted to NYC hospitals for covid have been discharged.
So of the ~20% who go into hospitals most are making it out.
