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.
CA Hospitalizations appear to have peaked, and as always, deaths will follow. Vaccine distribution, particularly in the elderly, will cause the deaths to drop off much faster than with the first wave. This is just the virus taking its course (with a little push from vaccinations), but of course, Biden will take credit.
Here’s a tracker for CA hospitalizations:
