Not as sensationally reported is that, fatality rate (the proportion of people who die of those who tested positive) appears to be falling slightly, and is at its lowest in 2+ months.

I think that's because of different vaccine uptake by age cohort. People 65+ have always been most likely to require intervention and they are also the most vaccinated age cohort - ~80% vaccinated in the US. [0]

This would most likely be due to the vaccines, no?
