540K dead and things are getting a lot better
We now have more people fully vaccinated (32 million) than have been publicly diagnosed with covid (29 million)
The pace of deaths and cases is declining rapidly. The numbers are still incredibly high, but they are going down. We haven’t had a day with over 200K cases in over 2 months, Been a month without breaching 100K cases. We had our first day with under 50K cases (March 8th) since the first week of October. We recently had 2 straight days with under 1,000 deaths. First time that has happened since mid November.

Currently averaging 20K deaths every 12.84 days (doesn’t include the time to reach first 20K). Death rate is decreasing. We are still at a record breaking pace of deaths. With cases staying at 50-70K cases a day, the death rate is going to stay elevated for a while.

Case growth is slowing down quickly. We haven’t seen a slowdown like this since October. The big variable is, how do the variants impact case growth and will we be able to vaccinate enough people to mitigate the variant growth?
