The deaths didn't slow down but the reporting did. I suspect next week will be even worse as they catch up from both holidays.

Same thing happened at Thanksgiving. Christmas will likely show a bigger lag due to the back to back holidays.

We will see in a week or so what the real trend line settles into. No matter what, the next three weeks are going to be bad. Very likely we will break 400k by inauguration which is what Biden predicted months ago. Funny what happens when you understand science and listen the right people.

Cases have stabilized, but deaths are very high.
