What are we to think? [View all]

Over the last month I have been reading reports from all over the world of under reporting the death toll. I linked a Huff Post piece below, however, a quick Google search will show you many more.

Have we begun to see it happening here, right now, as states open up to more infections? How is it possible the death toll would be going down? Using google.com/covid19/map as my reference for US deaths here are the reported US deaths over the last 5 days:

5-7 2,558
5-8 1,976
5-9 1,623
5-10 1,496
5-11 878

Something doesn't seem right to me. Should I be happy about the trend or distrustful?
