Some people argue this headline refers to a cumulative death toll, which (absent some real improvements in technology) will always rise with time. I don't read it that way, since the death toll by that interpretation would be rising even if we cured the disease tonight.

The death toll *is* rising. It's just not *accelerating*.

The death toll is certainly not going to get any smaller, unless some of those victims are up and walking around again.

Yes our daily number of deaths has been steadily declining which is great of course, but relative to other developed nations our per capita deaths is still embarrassingly high.
