Most states don't report deaths on the weekend, which is why you should look at the 7-day average. It was 3,866 deaths on Friday.

Sure. Compare cases vs deaths over a 7 day average with a comparable timing ( eg. January 2021)

Lots of more new cases, less severe ones.

It works both ways to have a fair comparison.
