February to May the percentage of deaths per positive test ranged from 10.6% to 1.9% to 6.15%....
The last 3 months the most it's been is about 1.8%

I didn't know this though-

% of tested people that were positive.

April 2020 19.4%
July 2021 3.6%

The actual death rate is about 1% of infected people. When you see a higher death rate per tested it means people are positive who are not tested.

Which means when you see 1.8% deaths per positive test that a good portion of the infected are identified. Not that it is less deadly.

The point of the graph was to show the same methods for gathering data used from February 2020 till now. Method didn't change. Data showed significantly higher %s last year which means

That my point from earlier; that you insulted as misinformation; was correct. Death rates are noticeably lower now per % of cases. Delta is a big nothing burger.

That is because your misinterpreting the data. Those higher death rates were from only testing the more I'll people. Your link doesn't support your point.

What it actually means is that many more people were infected than were reported earlier on. Now they are reporting more accurate numbers. The death rate is always 1% to 2%.

If you see a higher reported deaths rate then that tells you how many unreported cases there likely was. Not that it is less deadly now.
