Yeah, I know that there are a whole bunch of reasons for the apparent drop in mortality rate (the ages of those getting infected among them) but as these two charts show the infection rate vs. mortality has wildly diverged lately, well beyond what was predicted a few weeks ago when everyone was getting themselves infected over Memorial Day weekend.
Obviously the number of deaths are still unacceptably high, and there are lasting consequences other than death, so we really need to get this under control. But I hadn’t seen any models predicting this dramatic divergence, so I’ll bet it hit doctors by surprise.
