Truthfully, if 44,000 people die with COVID19 on their death certificate next month, and assuming an average of 430,000 daily "cases", that works out to a case fatality rate of about 0.3%, which is waaaaaaay below the cumulative US CFR for the pandemic of 1.5%.

Of course I'm not cheering on death. But the fact that the lethality of the virus is falling SHOULD be a positive news item.

“the fact that the lethality of the virus is falling SHOULD be a positive news item.”

You are absolutely right - the lethality is staggeringly lower!

That is the lede that was buried.
