I've been watching the daily new case and fatality numbers during all of this. It's weird how we were consistently having about 20,000 new cases a day for months on end, and then a couple weeks ago we suddenly went up to 60-70K new cases a day, every day.

With the fatalities we consistently had 2000+ deaths a day for a really long time, and then suddenly it fell to half of that within a week and has somehow stayed under 1000 a day since.

I'm not implying number fudging, but it's really odd how consistent the numbers have been. No gradual slope up to 70K a day, we're just suddenly there and are staying there. No gradual daily increase (so far). No corresponding gradual increase in deaths even though over 3 times as many people are now getting Covid-19 daily.

How does that work exactly? I go by the Worldometer numbers if that means anything. Why no gradual slopes upward or downward?
