I hope we don't get to 200,000 but it seems likely with fall and winter still ahead.

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

scroll down to the graph "Daily New Deaths in the United States"
Below the graph, click the check box to the right of "7-day moving average"
7/5: 516 deaths
7/20: 802 deaths
+55% in 15 days

Inevitably following the big rise in Daily New Cases (scroll up three graphs).
7 day moving average
6/12: 21,697 cases
7/20: 68,263 cases
a 3.15-fold increase in 5 1/2 weeks

Cases began rising 6/12, and 3 weeks 2 days later, on 7/5, deaths started rising.
