Note that the trend is worldwide. Even in countries with very high testing in the beginning. South Korea for one!

Most countries got their shit together and infection rates decreased. That means the same test capacity is now testing less severe cases, more preemptively across the population.

I also think it's unlikely to have the virus pathology synchronized across the world with current travel restrictions.

Last time I checked the virus actually seem to feature some "dual gene pool" mechanics, which should make it more robust and adaptable to "fading out".

Also note that current CFR is lower than the PFR back in March in many regions!
