Are numbers of deaths still rising? I keep hearing the curve is flattening, including NYC. As for the increase in numbers of cases, that is a given with more and more testing being done. There are many asymptomatic cases out there that we don't even know about. More testing = more positive results, including those who are asymptomatic.
