Covid-2019 - 2022-10-01

It's the strangest thing. For months and months now, US fatalities have been weirdly close to 500 per day. Yet daily case numbers have fluctuated far more. The case/fatality ratio, therefore, fluctuates too -- but that is a "residual" calculation based on one unchanging number (fatalities) and another changing number (cases). Perhaps the issue is that with the widespread use of home testing, many positive cases are not reported any more (but they would show up if the patient dies).
