Love this! Context has been the entire thing missing the whole time. "Information without context is falsely empowering"

Thanks. Still a lack of decrease. I am afraid we have reached the local minimum.

Hasn’t that been happening a lot in less noticeable ways every day for months?

I agree, though I look at these numbers daily and I can say that a death report that's 5x higher than the previous peak is extremely rare. So it's important to add some context to the numbers. I do expect deaths to increase over the next few weeks though. Just not today.
