Hopefully the current restrictions can be loosened a bit within the coming weeks.
Looking good indeed. The data for the last 2 days should be treated with caution though, might be down because of slow reporting on the holidays.
Here in Germany, we have 18k ICU beds available, of which 7800 are currently available - and the number of active coronavirus cases is already going down.
Our lockdown will continue until the end of the Easter holidays (Apr 19), but could be loosened after that date. I expect something similar in the NL.

regarding this black vs white discussion: it's obvious that this virus spreads earlier and quicker in more dense urban areas, and that poorer people are more exposed and at risk. since in the US, the poor in the big cities are predominantly made up by blacks and hispanics while poor whites predominantly live in rural areas, a higher share of black coronavirus patients or fatalities does not necessarily have to be the result of racism. it doesnt rule that explanation out, but there's no definitive connection either.
in particular, I would wait until the virus explodes in Florida, with all its nursing homes and its rather white elderly population.
