Augie,
To calculate the daily growth rate of cases or deaths for a given day, You do the following, I will use 3/25/20 and 3/26/20 for the example below
Step 1: Total Deaths from 3/26 - Total Deaths from 3/25 which is 1,295 - 1,027 = 268 new Deaths on 3/26.
Step 2: Divide the new deaths from 3/26 by the total deaths as of 3/25: 268/1,027 = 26.1%
Another way to think of this which might help: Yesterday we had a total of 1,027 deaths, today we had 268 more, that's a 26.1% increase in deaths since yesterday.
Hope this helps.

I'm gonna ask you a question: if you weighed 250 pounds yesterday, and today, you weighed 270, what was the percentage of your weight increase?
You need to be looking at the daily mortality increase and compare to the daily increase in new cases. That's how you know if your treatments are having any effect.
If diagnosed cases are increasing by a larger percentage, than your deaths are increasing, you are making headway.
