deaths are a lagging indicator of cases and are now trending upward

12 week downward trend. It doesn't take long to say it was a death because of covid, it takes a while to spin a death "with" as "from"

I have been creating occasional China Flu charts based on the Johns-Hopkins dashboard of death site. Here's the math I have regarding deaths per day:

1024/day from may 18 to june 7

745/day from june 7 to june 28

688/day from june 28 to july 19

A definite downward death rate even though the number of cases has been trending up.

Cases up due to testing, good metric to include

More than likely a temporary spike due to the Fourth. We'll see either way, especially now that President Trump has the reins.

The deaths always follow by one week when you look at the curves.
