I've tried pointing this out (alas, without the facts) to people, only to be called a conspiracy theorist, etc.
Hindsight is 20/20, but it was almost a given that the death rate would drop over time.
In February, we were caught by surprise, and had no idea what the most effective techniques and treatments were for helping infected people. We now have the benefit of 8 months of experience — it would be an educated guess to assume we'd figure out how to treat it faster than it would mutate into a deadlier variant.
Secondly, the most susceptible and at risk would have been infected and recovered (or passed away) first. It would be unreasonable to look at the statistics as some sort of flat constant graph.
