Deaths lag infections, this is a fact. There are new hotspots in Florida, Texas, California and others. You need to take a look at the breakdown per county, or at the very least per state to get a better idea of what is going on. You'll see that cases are dramatically increasing in these areas, and in a few weeks deaths will be as well.

This is a serious illness, and it's time to stop denying it. The sooner people do what is necessary (wearing masks, social distancing, quarantine.) the sooner this will be over and we can return to normal life. It's time to take this seriously and stop denying it for dumbass political reasons.
Or thinking this is the apocalypse for dumbass political reasons (i,e. looks bad for Trump). You don't think the NYT, CNN, or NBC doesn't skew data? It works both ways brother.
