But I thought that everybody agreed that the age distribution IS changing.

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/> 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.
