That's five days in a row in the 700-900 range, similar to this time in June.

2. It'll soon be back to 2,000 a day.

Deaths are a lagging indicator.

The crowded hospitals are the intermediate story and you are seeing that all over.

Rising deaths are next.

3. Well sure they might rise

but only because democrats are killing themselves just to make Trump look bad so they can lower his re-election chances...
You do realize that, right?

4. +1, looks like the younger are dying slower vs not at all. The death uptick is starting 3.5 weeks

... out from peak hospitalization vs 2.5 wks for instance.

There were 60,000 hospitalizations during April we're now around 30,000 ... that number is going to go up and bash us hard because it is not going to slow down
