the deaths lag the case reporting by like 4-6 weeks.

so at something like 20000 cases reported per day we have had around 1000 deaths.
we are now at triple that so it follows that deaths would likely triple.

of course first the infections, then the hospitalizations, then the icu, then the deaths.

maybe we are doing better and it will only be double.
we will see.
