numbers don't lie but media does

We are finally, finally, finally seeing someone admit what I've been saying for weeks: the death rate from Covid-19 is dropping.  The case counts are indeed going up, mostly because of an increase in testing rates.

But - and this is the important part that most everyone is missing - increased cases do NOT mean increased infections.  It means we are finally finding all the cases that have been here all along; we just didn't know it before now.

The emphasis on case counts and the implied increase in infection is dishonest reporting or perhaps simple ignorance.  Most reporters aren't good at math.  Hell, most Americans don't understand math and especially statistics.  If they did, they'd be cheering the news that the death rate from Covid-19 is dropping and has been for weeks.

We are beating this disease, but the media doesn't want to know that, doesn't understand it, or refuses to tell you.  The dam is beginning to break, however.  Here's a link to one story that gets it right:
