I’d like to think that the lower death rate signals a weakening of the virus but I haven’t seen any medical evidence or discussion yet. Doesn’t stop me from hoping.
I think it’s more of a reflection of younger, healthier people getting it (vs. older people with more underlying health conditions originally caught by surprise), as well as the normal lag for number of deaths vs. infections. I also haven’t read anything about a weakening.
