This WaPo page has some nice graphics that might help. In one of them you can see that cases started rising right around July 4. So far deaths have not increased but since there has typically been a two-week lag between cases and deaths, we are just now getting to the point where they would be expected to increase. Data from the next week or so should show whether the death ratio is higher now than it was previously.
