3 days straight of over a thousand deaths here in the US.

The deaths now, are from infections back in mid june.
Back then the lockdown had ended and you guys where around ~20k new daily infections (and were around 400-500 daily deaths).
By mid June (from where these deaths mostly come from), daily new cases had risen to ~40k pr day.

Today the US is at 65-75k pr day.
So the 1,000-1200 range of today, isn't the end of it, it will/should go up, following that higher new cases + 1months time delay = deaths.

Like I said earlier (in this thread, like a week ago?), I wouldn't be surprised if it hits 1500-2000 pr day, because of those +75,000 new daily cases days.
Its just it lags behinde by a month or more.

Yep, very possible.

It does seem the growth has been stopped again, or the changes in reporting are having an effect. Or testing has been decreased. Annoying there's no way to know until the reported deaths peak again.

The week over week change is almost down to 100% for the last 3 days (just 0.5% growth 3-day average) and yesterday was down to 98.8% comparing 3-day averages with Thursday the 16th. Last Friday had 74,987 reported cases, will it be more, less or the same today.
