we had hit a steady rate of around 800 a day then school opened, sturgis happened, and more people became "tired" of the pandemic... so now we have popped up over 1000 again.

Flu season has just started. Many more people will be homeless this winter, health care access will be more restricted...

but 400K by the end of January is pretty unlikely. 300,000 is almost certain.
