While cases have been surging across the country in recent weeks, deaths, which health experts say are a lagging indicator because it takes time for people to get sick and die, continue to fall nationally. Experts say this downward trend reflects advances in treatment and prevention, as well as the large share of cases among young adults, who are more likely than older ones to survive COVID-19
