Where's the Spike in COVID-19 Deaths?

   Just as soon as states started to reopen, a surge in coronavirus cases
   put the brakes on those plans. Talk about a second wave has
   conveniently reignited fears about the coronavirus right as the country
   is itching to get back to normal, or as close to normal as possible.

   But the media wants you to be afraid. They are counting on people to
   focus on the headlines and be ignorant of the data.

   What is the data telling us?

   The death count for COVID-19 has been declining long enough that if it
   continues, [91]COVID-19 will no longer be considered an epidemic by the
   CDC in a few weeks. Some have argued that the lag between cases and
   deaths is a moot point because of the lag between diagnoses and deaths.
   So, let’s take that into account.

   The spike in cases [92]appears to have started on June 14, 2020, which
   makes perfect sense because most people develop symptoms within two
   weeks of infection, and the George Floyd riots started at the end of
   May. Studies suggest that deaths from COVID-19 occur between 15 and 22
   days, with a median of 18.5, after becoming symptomatic.

   It’s reasonable to assume that most of the people who get tested do so
   because they’ve experienced symptoms. But even if only half of those
   who have tested positive during the recent spike of cases were
   symptomatic when they were tested, a spike in deaths [93]should have
   occurred by now because it’s been 23 days since the spike in cases
   started. But, as the charts below indicate, there hasn’t been a spike
   in deaths yet:

     It's been 23 days since [94]#coronavirus cases started to spike, but
     deaths continue to decline. The median days from onset of symptoms
     to death is 18.5. [95]pic.twitter.com/Vz6OhlMPRZ

     — Matt Margolis 🇺🇸 (@mattmargolis) [96]July 7, 2020

   How is it possible that there’s been no spike in deaths yet? As Dr.
   Anthony Fauci recently [97]acknowledged, “The overwhelming majority of
   people who are now getting infected are young people, like the people
   that you see in the clips in the paper or out in the crowds enjoying
   themselves.”

   And risk of death for young people is very, very, very small. The CDC’s
   [98]current best estimate puts the fatality rate for symptomatic
   coronavirus patients at .05 percent for people under fifty, and .2
   percent for those between 50 and 64 years of age. It’s only when you
   get to those 65 and older that the fatality rate for symptomatic
   coronavirus patients jumps to 1.3 percent.

   The lack of a spike in deaths at this point tells us a lot. It tells us
   schools could reopen, that bars and restaurants and pretty much
   everything else can too, as long as the vulnerable population (the
   elderly and the sick) are quarantined. Life can return to normal for
   most of us.
