[FRIAM] Covid graph

[Barry MacKichan]

The method for reporting Covid data changed, and public health people 
were predicting that it increased the burden for already overburdened 
hospitals. Is that possibly an explanation for the leveling off? If not, 
what would cause deaths to level off while cases (and hospitalizations 
as seen in the Atlantic article 
(https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/07/second-coronavirus-death-surge/614122/) 
continue to rise? I doubt that the age distribution would be changing 
suddenly, or that the treatments are suddenly better than two weeks ago.
