Yep. Deaths are going down, which shows spikes in cases does not correlate to deaths. 

A few things here.  Firstly and most importantly, the medical community knows how to treat this better than they did 3 months ago.  Initially, if people had a good amount of trouble breathing, a vent was the go-to method.  That has been shown to have horrendous results.  There are several methods of treating this now as long as the patients are not too advanced in their sickness.

Secondly, we know that testing was scarce initially and the number of tests were tied to those being admitted to the hospital for COVID-19...even then they were only taking the most dire cases.  Many of those people died.  So yes, the early deaths rates looked scary as heck!

Lastly, if you quarantine the entire country cases are going to be predictably less than not closing things down. However, society can't be cordoned off forever, so as the country reopened, of course cases were going to spike.  Minimizing exposure does NOT eradicate the virus, it just delays the inevitable until vaccine is developed and widely available.

Has it not been explained a million times that deaths lag cases by weeks

How many?

was 11 days, then 2 weeks, then 2-3 weeks.

Riots and protests and openings started 5 weeks ago.  Just sayin'

You have to have no understanding of statistics what so ever to arrive at a conclusion like this.

Look at the graphs I posted and give us all a lesson.  Really, if it is that simple, give the answers

Really? I just totally just took a shot in the dark at this comment? I have been following this Virus since March. Tell me.. is Positive Cases, Testing, and deaths equally correlated? Lets say deaths are are lagging by cases.. they still do not equally correlate. The improvements in testing, healthcare, experience, medicine has drastically lowered the death rate.

The problem with most is that they mix their politics in with statistics, and it never adds up.

Okay, not many people, including me, think much of Trump.  So give it a rest.  Talk numbers and virus, not fear based opinions based on an election year.  Except for 4 Corners, he is a hopeless political case

If the numbers from March and April, were the same in May and June. it would be totally different on the numbers and deaths etc. The news props up New Cases, but will not tell you how many recovered. The news props up how many have died, but does not tell you the percentage, or underlying causes. The news will also not tell you how many have had the anti-body test, how many does not experience symptoms, or tells you the probability of living. It is all death, death, sickness, gloom and death.

Not going to happen, so don't count on it.

It's amazing the number of outlets where you can easily find accumulative case counts and number of deaths, but you have to really dig to find the number of recovered cases.    Secondly, you would think total case count (while important) would be secondary to the active case count.  But, you know, that doesn't drive headlines and fear mongering.
