Yes. If you got sick with Covid yesterday and went to the hospital, your case date is yesterday, and I'd hope you wouldn't die in a day... but you might after a week or two. So, The July 28th deaths, for case date, haven't happened yet.. they'll happen in the future, if at all. that's why that chart always looks like it is getting better.Not exactly understanding what I am looking at here.
The graph at the bottom, Deaths by Date Reported, is clearly going up, which we know is the case, though it would probably be helpful if this was more of a 7-day rolling average view.
Where I am confused though is what is the Deaths by Case Date graph showing us, since it is trending downward when we know numbers of cases and deaths are rising.
Could you explain further?
i.e. first chart is date they died. Second chart is date they got sick, and if they died or not. So, that graph isn't complete. That's what the state officially shows, so the site I posted uses that, and the death's by date they died.
The third thing is death by date reported..which often lumps in weeks of death dates together. So, it's not useful.
