It's 301 confirmed cases per the CDC right now. On that page they only report whatever was recorded the prior Thursday at noon. And don't be deceived by the apparent downward trend in the graph. They'll revise the numbers for the last 3-4 weeks worth of data as more information trickles into the system. Every week when new numbers come out, the prior weeks' numbers go up as well. Of the 79 new cases added last week, only 6 were actually reported for last week. The other 73 were revisions to the data from prior weeks. We'll only know that we've hit a peak a few weeks after the peak has occurred.
