The only number that I feel is a good indicator is the number of deaths. Everything else can be skewed by our testing practices.
I don’t think there is anything to draw from the numbers. If you were scared previously then you should still be scared imo.

Deaths can also be skewed if COVID-19 isnt the cause of death but the patient had the virus.

Number of deaths is the worst indicator. All of those cases still open all could potentially be a death so that percentage is constantly moving and won’t settle until AFTER the pandemic is over or significantly stabilized.
% of tests positive and hospitalization rates are the best indicators right now. If those flatten then we’ll be fine. Both appear to be flattening right now. I think we’ve passed the peak but not significantly declining yet. By NEXT Friday the decline will be visible.
