Why are COVID cases increasing so quickly while deaths are steadily decreasing?

Is it just that the death rate lags behind the identified cases? Are more cases being identified due to increased testing? Is there some kind of difference in the reporting of infections and/or deaths compared to several weeks ago?

Covid-19 takes a relatively long time to progress. And it appears that the more fatal cases take longer to reach their apex than the milder ones. It's most likely just a lag time as, afaik, there haven't been any real advancements in improving treatment significantly in the last month or two.
