Weekly update. So far the 'fall wave' isn't amounting to much, might already be over.
Of course reporting gets increasingly more spotty, but deaths aren't rising all that much either. Vaccines, immunity, treatments are working.
In total 3.02 million new cases were reported last week (down from 3.32 million)
Also another 11.267 more deaths were reported (up from 10,620)
USA reported 242K new cases (down from 291K) and 2,317 more deaths (down from 2,634)
Europe reported 1.74 million new cases (down from 1.92 million) and 5,917 more deaths (up from 4,897)
Europe's previous wave peaked at 3.0 million cases and 6,354 deaths in the 2nd week of August. Februari had up to 24K deaths a week. Much better now.

One thing is for sure, it's not just going to go away.
My parents in law got back out of quarantine, feeling better. They hadn't seen their grand children in over 3 weeks while they normally come by multiple times a week. They were happy to see them again.
One more big wave could be coming when China ends zero covid policy.
