Probably will decline as 1) they test more broadly and find more mild cases, and 2) they learn better how to treat it.
But a straight cases/deaths measure further isn’t very useful. Most importantly, it generally takes people who are going to die from it 3-4 weeks to advance to death. At a time of sharply increasing total numbers, there will be a lag for the death volume to catch up to the cases volume.

Bingo. It’s the number of seriously ill vs. the number of available ICU beds/equipment/personnel that has the potential to crater the healthcare system.
Yes, I think in the end we will see this was a bad flu that killed a little higher percentage than the regular flu.
It’s amazing how day after day the whores in the MSM never share the stats on the regular flu. How many people know that during the flu season 2018-2019, 69,000 people dies in the US and over 500,000 worldwide.
