Hospitalization numbers are starting to plateau and decline. a lot of nursing home residents and seniors are being vaccinated and this should help the numbers along with herd immunity with more than a third of the country already infected.
600K+ dead is already baked in and nothing can be done about that at this point but hopefully by April and May with seasonal change and half the country infected or vaccinated cases will be in steep decline.
The only wild card are the new UK and Brazil strains which may evade the vaccine and cause reinfection among those who already had COVID.
I believe that the worst is over and soon we should see new cases and deaths peak in California which is the epicentre right now. Things should be looking better by Valentine’s Day and by Spring we should be out of it, although we will still be dealing with it but by then, it will be like a bad flu season.
