460K dead in a year. With the Biden administration now in charge, let’s hope this is the beginning of the end.
The pace of deaths and cases seems to be declining. The numbers are still incredibly high, but they are going down. We haven’t had a day with over 200K cases in nearly three weeks. However, since deaths lag cases, deaths will continue to surpass 3,000 a day, and 4,000 on some days. But these should begin to decline as well.

Currently averaging 20K deaths every 13.59 days (doesn’t include the time to reach first 20K). Death rate is increasing, though we could be at a plateau right now. We are still at a record breaking pace of deaths. With cases staying at 100K-125K cases a day, the death rate is going to stay elevated for a while.

Case growth is slowing down. The big variable is, how do the variants impact case growth and will we be able to vaccinate enough people to mitigate the variant growth?
