No question, the number of confirmed coronavirus cases has skyrocketed since mid-June.
During the same time period, daily new deaths reported have leveled off … typically ranging between 500 and 1,000.
The chart below displays the 7-day moving average of daily reported new cases and deaths … indexed to their levels in mid-April when daily new deaths previously peaked (2,824 on April 21) and daily new cases were running about 30,000.

My take:
Even factoring a lag time between case diagnoses and deaths, it doesn’t appear that the higher case counts are driving a commensurate spike in deaths.
