> The curve has more than been flattened. Maaaaybe, but it sure has 'flattened' at a very high number of cases and the death curve seems to be rising still ht

  That article doesn’t provide any meaningful information on deaths. It does saying they are “spiking” in certain states but any review of data in the US will show that deaths are not increasing nationwide and the “upticks” in COVID-19 deaths are very very small compared to the history, every person who actually views the data would call it flat. We are talking about a roughly 70% decrease in deaths from COVID-19 from the peak. As I mentioned you used to have 22.25% chance a death was caused by COVID-19 and now if you die there is only roughly 5% chance it was from COVID-19 and that number doesn’t even require laboratory testing to verify, if they thought COVID-19 was a likely cause of death without testing it is still counted in those numbers.

    US deaths on July 1st were ~700, on July 23rd they were ~1100. The deaths histogram seems to be going upward to me.
