To be sure, becoming complacent today will make you a statistic tomorrow. Food for thought: "peak" only means aprox half the deaths are still coming, just not spiking as sharply as before and overwhelming the medical community at the same time. It will be a slow decline in deaths as those infected either get better or worse....
And to head off the question that is certain to be raised, I quote this article from Lakeland FL because they seem to have the most current "ever fluid" PEAK information for the entire state of FL.

I don't think believing conspiracy theories has anything to do with being complacent in our own protection and quarantine and our protection of others. We know the older population is at higher risk. We know that it spreads quickly and that it can be carried by people with no symptoms. We know that being careless with going out can cause others to suffer and be at higher risk. MOST of us know it is far more deadly than the Swine Flu and MOST of us know this is a new virus that no one has had before.
