Coronavirus deaths lag new cases by about 3 weeks

But it seems like a decline in deaths marks the end of a "wave", which is a good thing.

We could face another wave, which of course would be bad. Lockdown fatigue and protests could easily bring it back. But if we've brought one wave under control, at least we know what it takes to do it and we can try to react a little faster for the next one.
