With the nation sitting at 230,000 COVID deaths today, there is the very likely possibility that we will reach 250,000 on Election Day, 11 days away. The spike in new daily cases (over 80,000 today), totals that are higher than they have ever been, suggest that more daily deaths are imminent. We're already at over 1000 per day. So, it's not out of the question that an average of 1800 people per day die from this thing between now and then.


Were that to occur, it certainly would be symbolic.

Actually, the more likely date for 250,000 deaths is 19 NOV 20.

Does that factor in the 82, 000 new positive cases yesterday? We have nearly 55,000 today already, and they do not call in final numbers for six more hours.

Current deaths per day are slightly over 1000. I can see it hitting 2000 by next week.

Yes it does.

If you will check Daily Statistical Summary of COVID-19 you will see that the numbers are current as of approximately 1400 Z on the date of posting.
