I have added the emphasis to the report, but the graphs below give hints of good news.  Note also how the peak in deaths was two to three weeks after the peak in cases.

Originally posted by "BBC" "BBC" wrote:

These charts show the daily number of cases and deaths in the US, and the rolling average.

In both cases, the rolling averages remain stubbornly high, although with a downward trend.

Newly-released figures - not included in these charts - show the US had 776 deaths in the past 24 hours, the lowest figure since March.

Ok, so we slowed our fall into chaos a bit.  So now we start undoing the parachute straps?

AAAAARGH!

What that chart does not show is that the CFR (Case Fatality Rate) in the USA has been increasing.  So either this is mutating in real time to be more dangerous or, in my opinion more likely, more and more cases are being missed and the case numbers actually are rising.    


Tech, I think the lack of self-discipline will mean that we have to unharness too soon and will go splat!

I wouldn't be too confident that those charts mean infection rates are down everywhere in America.  It's flatted for sure, but the overwhelming number of infections were out of New York.  New York is on the downtrend.  It makes me wonder if this rolling average isn't about less infections, but that the curve went down slightly because NY is having vastly fewer infections and other states' infection rates are ramped up considerably.
