There’s also a delay between symptoms and confirmed infections. The July death peak came two weeks after the July confirmed daily infection peak.
Right now two weeks ago we had a 50% CDI increase, but deaths haven’t caught up.
The answer must be a combination of longer time to death and lower IFR (including less at-risk people contracting). I’m hoping it’s more the second but not much update yet.
