That's a projection of a daily average of 1363 for next 22 days .
To put that in perspective:
Thats 9/11 every 60 hours.
Nine 9/11s in 3 weeks.
We are being murdered by federal, #Trump led criminal negligence and appeasement by congress

...1,058 (as of yesterday) but rising.
Same graph says the 7 day was 520 on July 5th.
So, in 25 days the AVERAGE doubled. And 7 of the last 10 days were well over a thousand a day.
So, this projection seems reasonable. If it's not an underestimate.
