    Number of daily new cases went up since April, number of death is stable. Maybe its true that the virus is "burning out" or mutating into harmless strains

    • Yeah hard to say WTF is going on. Probably multiple things true at the same time...yuekit
    • Increased testing results in increased cases, many of which are mild. I would imagine hospitals also getting better at treating it.yuekit
    • Also different trends everywhere. In the USA deaths dropped significantly but now climbing back towards 1,000 per day.yuekit
    • could also be that the most at risk have already succumbed, meaning population relatively better at recoveringFax_Benson
    • Sadly I don't think that'd be it, fax - I suspect more harmless strains, hotter and more UV weather is having an effect, as to obetter treatment as YK suggestsNairn
    • I've been thinking for a while now that we'll have no idea 'Who Did Best' for at least two years. My concern is for what happens come Autumn-time..Nairn
    • ..when we'll really find out if it's mutating into weaker (but 'fitter') forms.Nairn
