Coronavirus cases are rising but is death rate?

Been trying to work out if the death rate is rising proportionally. Does anyone have any good data?

Part of it is that younger people are now getting Covid-19 so the death rate is lower, but also there will be a time gap between testing positive and dying. In the people I've know who have died with it all except one were 3-6 weeks after testing positive.
Now I'd expect it to be quicker now as they're encouraging people to test sooner-back then it was only really if you were being admitted that you got a test, but I'd still expect there to be a lag.
