Tally

I previously posted a few tallies showing the date for each 10K covid deaths, and the number of days between 10Ks.  I stopped at 600K, but I'll post again tonight in observance of the 700,000th covid death in the United States.

This tally is a little deceptive, because the rate of death appears to be accelerating still. However, I expect deaths to plateau, and soon fall.  The peak of cases in the current (delta) wave came 9/1 with an average of ~166K new cases per day. Daily cases have been falling since then, and the current 7-day average of ~100K new cases per day is down 40%. Deaths should soon follow suit.
