Daily Mail: Is this the evidence coronavirus IS getting weaker? Global coronavirus infections are spreading at their fastest rate - but deaths are going down
* The number of coronavirus cases per million people is accelerating globally
* But the number of deaths per million has been in steady decline since mid-April
* Some researchers have suggested this is because the virus is losing potency
* But vastly improved testing could also help to explain the diverging figures
The number of coronavirus cases is increasing at its fastest pace since the pandemic began but the death rate is in decline - possibly providing evidence that the virus is getting weaker.
Today the world logged more than 16 cases of the virus per million people on the planet, which is the second-highest number since the disease emerged.
Over the last seven days, the average number of cases diagnosed was 114,000 compared to an average of just 86,000 in the first week of May - driven by rapidly worsening outbreaks in South America, India and Russia.
But deaths have not kept pace. Today there were 0.67 deaths per million people on the planet, well below the all-time high of 1.35 per million on April 16.

Bad data; just because more testing means that more people ‘tested’ positive means nothing. Also, these tests suck, Mom’s been tested 5-7x and each time it’s different. LOL
Maybe General Field Marshall Mattis and Theranos can design a more accurate test there Mr Feldhake. That way the test won't be different each time.
