COVID-19 Cases Are Rising, So Why Are Deaths Flatlining?

Summary of his explanation:
1 - Younger people are getting infected, and when younger people get infected the death rate tends to be lower
2 - Doctors are better at managing patients. Even when you look at people of the same age ending up in hospitals, they are much less likely to die.
3 - Doctors are avoiding "that kitchen sink of toxic cocktails".
4 - About half of the deaths in the NY area were in the nursing homes, which were unable to protect their vulnerable population, due to a mistaken policy which was changed on May 10th, so now these populations are better protected.
5 - People take time to die, so we'll probably start seeing an uptick in deaths in the next week.

Worldometer shows that 92% of covid cases already have been recovered, leaving only 8% that actually died from corona (so they say). There were sources saying that lot of the elderly patients in NYC died through complications of breathing problems leading to suffocation from the ventilators they used. So people were accidentally dying and marking their death as Covid. Sounds a lot like the cases here in the West side where someone get shot, they mark their death as covid related.
Even the doctors where I work are truly skeptic to this bull crap. What Hospital is overworked with Covid patients in the US? I thought all hospitals were busy making twerking videos on TikTok whilst demanding more ventilators & masks. Clown times we are living in. The confusion in OP's article says it all

What the hell? I knew "Covid party" was a term, but I figured it referred to general parties, not some strange attempt to purposely get inflected, maybe.
They seem to be spiking again, and the slope appears to be a lot steeper than last time.
