Daniel Griffin spoke about this in the newest episode of This Week in Virology[1]. Summary of his explanation: 1 - Younger people are getting infected, and when younger people get infected the death rate tends to be lower 2 - Doctors are better at managing patients. Even when you look at people of the same age ending up in hospitals, they are much less likely to die. 3 - Doctors are avoiding "that kitchen sink of toxic cocktails". 4 - About half of the deaths in the NY area were in the nursing homes, which were unable to protect their vulnerable population, due to a mistaken policy which was changed on May 10th, so now these populations are better protected. 5 - People take time to die, so we'll probably start seeing an uptick in deaths in the next week.
