In the same time span - 7 weeks - cases reported have gone from 450-ish/day to 2,000/day. Yep, a dramatic increase in CASES over the last 7 weeks, while deaths are DOWN.

Wuhan Flu Deaths
steadily Dropping.
Cases may be on the rise but people are NOT dying from it like they were before..now that we are entering the summer months, where it is very hot outside, the virus doesn’t have the kind of power it had before..I know here in SoCal the death number for today is 11..now since its a Sunday I wouldnt make much of it since its the weekend but hope its a trend in the right direction
Thanks for your post. I have noticed the same thing. Deaths are down a lot while cases are up in some states.
I get that the extra testing has caused a bump in the case numbers. I also note that there is an increase in rates in some States to increase the numbers.
I suspect a lot more of these cases are healthier people who likely will not die from it and seniors are better protected than earlier (e.g. New York). That helps too reduce the death rate.
However, does anyone know if we are using better therapies and treatments on this disease to help significantly reduce the death rate?
Things are definitely going in a good direction overall but weekend numbers are always the lowest of the week, followed by a rise. It’s a reporting thing.
Many states are doing much better. The states that didn’t take off early are now heading for their peaks.
Deaths are going to lag cases by a few weeks. I wouldnt be surprised to have an uptick in deaths in the coming weeks.
Ya but in two weeks.....
Most vulnerable already had died of covid-19. Now mostly young people are getting it.
Certainly a downward trend. But hospitals don’t all report on Sunday. Especially Father’s Day.
To control for the number of tests, watch the % of tests that are positive, not just the number of cases.
