The number of New Deaths Per Day is a lagging indicator of the current number of New Infections Per Day. It lags behind by about 20 days.
A better indicator are the number of New Cases Per Day which has been relatively flat over the last 3 days, at about 17K, 19K and 19K.
Also the number of New Hospitalizations are down over the last three days at about 3.9K, 3.6K and 3.0K.
Based on predictions, I would have thought we would have had many more deaths due to COVID-19 than are being reported. We've still going upward, but I wonder if the predictions that we'll exceed 1,000 deaths daily will actually turn out to be true.
