We're running into an upper bound on how many unvaccinated/uninfected people are left to keep the pain train rolling. I don't think we're going to see another big wave until we get a significant variant. Even then, it probably won't pick up again until next fall, when school is back in session and we're all trapped indoors cheek-to-cheek thanks to another state-demolishing hurricane.
At the current rate of around 500 deaths a day, it'll take five or six more years to crest the 2M mark.
Thing is we are coming close to summer with all the chuds everywhere about to go hog wild and spread spit all over, I also feel libs will also join in since brunch is back on the menu since good old boy Biden told them so. Given all that and how low the boosters were, the dropping immunity from the initial shots as well as how unequally distributed vaccination rates have been and we could see flare ups that could propagate a new strain within a couple months by the end of summer leading into fall.
Maybe. Or maybe we've had enough people vaccinated plus enough other people infected plus a high enough initial mortality rate that the R of transmission can't easily break north of 2 easily anymore.
Only one way to find out, and Americans are going to roll the dice whether or not its prudent.
Well it's gonna be interesting to see the country pass 2 million dead by the end of the year...
