past 520K. 540 - 560 looks like a safe bet at this point

7 day moving average is around 2,000 deaths per day so deaths would need to start trending back up for that to happen (I suck at stats but I think that is right).

yeah, under 540 looks pretty impossible now.  i thought deaths would trail off a little faster.

That would be great. So if it stays flat (seemingly worst case) we’re looking at 580+, but not 600

went over 540k today.  we're almost certain to get over 560k before the end of the month.  i'm a little surprised at how slowly deaths have come down, especially given that vaccine distribution has surprised to the upside.

I thought daily death totals were elevated due to backlogged deaths being added.

yeah, there's a lag in death reporting, but afaik, there isn't anything about that lag that has recently changed.

There are people who got infected in January that are still hospitalized so the lag in time from infection to death plays a role - probably more than time from death to time that death is reported. Per COVID Tracking Project, we are about to drop under 40K Americans hospitalized. Smallville, KS hospital has not had a positive test in their lab for over a week.

Yeah, it's sort of the reverse situation when this all started and all the pandemic deniers were making fun of "it has only like 15 people, you idiots!" and then they had to shut up and leave gE forever like a month later when the deaths came by the hundred and then thousands a day, death, is not instant with this disease, and they never could understand that. Realistically the deaths we're seeing are caused by infections at least 2 weeks, but more likely 4-6 weeks ago as you pointed out.

maybe also a good thread to congratulate italy on joining the six figger club.  to :sdeek: at brazil and to wonder that we didn't hear more about eastern europe as they went from a spring success story to a rough ridin' morgue in the fall/winter.

Gonna take a (tragic) victory lap on this one.

Curious to know what happened in Czech Republic. They were very early adopters of masks and had great numbers last spring.

They were discussed in another thread. They stopped wearing masks and opened everything up in the summer.

Can I crap post a stupid take here? If masks produced the same outcomes as the AZ vaccine, I'd be happier today.

I mean that would make masks pretty goddam effective for the price, wouldn't it?

it's amazing how many countries are getting close to having had 1 out of every 500 residents die from covid over the last fourteen months.
