Stop in for a cup of coffee

But here’s what I’m noticing, they’ve had cases explode, but the number of deaths aren’t going up at the same rate, and it most states the death rate has dropped. Note, I don’t mean the total number of deaths but the percentage of positive cases dying is dropping compared to earlier rates. Which supports what the doctor from UoK was saying last spring, as the virus mutates and spreads, it becomes generally less lethal but more contagious

Well all the deaths (and more) have been reported from the beginning. As testing becomes more widespread, they are documenting many cases that were not being caught before - including people with no symptoms. So, deaths as a percent of the total goes down.
