I find these charts highly misleading. Results frequently take 5-10 days to come in, and this plots things as a function of symptom onset. So, given a) the delay in getting and reporting test results and b) the fact that it takes symptoms a variable number of days to come on, it will always be the case that the peak in symptom onset was a number of days ago with much fewer cases of reported symptom onset within the recent past. That chart has always bent sharply downward no matter when you look at it, with the data for a recent date "filling in" as time goes on. Even the doctors at the OKC City Council meeting called it potentially misleading, although it has value for epidemiological reasons, of course.
