Americans are dying faster of Covid than at any time since epidemic started: Seven-day average death toll is HIGHER than the April peak with 2,237 victims a day

1. It will get worse

Deaths today relate to new infections about 3-4 weeks ago when the cases were ~120k per day.

We are going to be in the 3500-4000 range for an extended period before long. It is already baked into the numbers since the new cases have been over 200k for the last week. And since that number hasn't peaked yet, we won't see the deaths peak until at least a month later.

Maybe by inauguration day, this Country will be so shell shocked that they are REALLY ready to accept some new leadership.

3. 400,000 deaths by Inauguration Day is definitely within reach

292,000 dead now.

We will easily average 2500 deaths/day over the next 40 days.

5. Projecting further

Think of it like scoring in baseball. If a pitcher lets a guy on base, the Earned Run belongs to him even if he scores after the pitcher leaves the game.

Trump will be responsible for all the deaths for people who got sick on his watch. Run those numbers out another 3-4 weeks and it will likely break 500,000.

Even longer if you actually allow some time for Biden policies to take hold.

2. I feel like a PSA from the CDC or someone needs to be done

and break-in on Twitter, FaceBook, Instagram, TikTok, TV, Cable, etc.

And that means all activity stops for the few minutes at peak times during the morning, afternoon and evening as a PSA video plays... basically turning social media into an alert 'video' system.

4. They're highlighting the 7-day moving average...

Basically we're doing one 9/11 every day.
