Worldometers.info has today's body count only slightly below 2k. They are showing 173,632 new cases and 1,956 deaths. These numbers will probably go up tomorrow when they fill in the Nebraska data for today.
The 7 day average for new cases is just under 165k. Using the projection methodology posted by Magnus last week (7 day average of new cases x 1.8% gives expected deaths in 22 days), we can expect to have about 2,970 deaths per day around Dec. 10. Might as well round that to 3k. If this continues in it's current trajectory, we could lose close to 100k in just December. That's probably wrong, but in which direction?
