The same model that the white house used to quote, on deaths (because it was on a lower side of things), now says near 300,000 deaths by the end of the year, in the USA. That 1,000-1,500 deaths pr day, is going to continue in the US, and probably rise still more.
The fact of the matter is even when factoring in the 160,000+ deaths to covid19, theres still around 60,000 excess deaths this year, in the same time period. Which are likely just "missed" case fatalities due to covid.
In half a year's time, theres probably 220,000 total deaths due to covid19 so far.
No signs of it slowing down either (unless vaccines turn it around).
