And to be fair even looking at those numbers and extrapolating them with the current cases/deaths numbers... it does CURRENTLY look like there's a large drop in the case fatality ratio.
Hard to say 100% whether that's because of vaccinating massively reducing incidence of severe illness, cases being skewed into younger and less at risk demographics, or simply more asymptomatic cases being discovered because of surge testing in hotspot areas.
Prolly a combination of all 3.
[edit to add]
Any of the three is good news though. Obviously reason #1 would be the most encouraging.
