Deaths lag 2-3 weeks behind cases. If there is no spike in deaths 2-3 weeks after a spike in cases, then why all the panic? Higher cases and lower deaths are a good thing: the Case Fatality Rate (CFR) is low; the virus is less fatal!
ESTIMATED DATA
Total cases, hospitalizations and deaths are extrapolated from academic, epidemic modelling, then revised as an epidemic progresses and data becomes available
