Deaths will lag behind cases given the inherent lag in that outcome

Cases steady for about 9 days now. Deaths rising with expected delay

Here are two graphs for you on deaths per day. One logarithmic, one

South Korea would beg to differ.

I'm saying, we aren't given the data for you and I to do anything

But if you are saying that's what we need to measure, sure I agree
