6. Ok, I see how you got there. I don't think it will be quite that bad though.

The daily cases has tripled in maybe 5 weeks, so it's not unreasonable to figure the daily deaths will triple with a lag of several weeks. So I'm with you on that. But the starting point isn't 1k if you average daily deaths over the course of a week. It's closer to half that. So I'd guess 1.5k on average, with mid-week days sometimes over 2k. We might even break 3k some days, but not 21k deaths over the course of a whole week.

Not yet, anyway. Of course, if the anti-mask terrorism continues, sure....
