Just want to point out that for all the narrative that deaths aren’t climbing again, the last 2 days the US has r”l suffered 993 and 890 deaths respectively, and we’re past the 450 mark already for today. This is after many weeks of deaths in the 200s and 300s.. Hashem Yishmor.

The numbers weren't averaging in the 2-300s, the lowest the 7 day average reached is 516 on 7/6, yesterday it was 585 based on the increase over the 2 prior days. While it's very concerning and should be watched, it's not nearly are bad as you made it sound.

ETA: Delays in reporting due to July 4th may also be to blame.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Theoretically yes. But its really higher for 65+ and far lower for younger so technically that's correct but really depends on age group.

To be accurate - we had 3 days that the daily numbers were in the 200-300's. Then came a spike the next few days. But as you mention, a rolling 7 day average is a better metric to look at, as it smooths the numbers from reporting delays. But your last comment about July 4th is a moot point, because as mentioned, a 7 day rolling average will smooth out the reporting delays. Deaths are still increasing after it's averaged out.

We are about a month after the daily new cases started to rise in the US, so it's around now that I have been expecting the death numbers to spike.

I may have been off so I’ll take back the “weeks of 200s-300s” for now but I checked quite a few times over the past couple of weeks and saw numbers in the 200s-300s (sometimes 400s and 500s)  for some time. Perhaps they were aberrations and/or delayed reporting issues but I haven’t seen a day close to a thousand in a very very long time until 2 days ago.

Do you not think deaths are starting to rise very significantly now?

Total lie. The deaths of the last couple of days were accurate. About earlier, I might have been unintentionally misleading because the average was higher but there were certainly some days with numbers in the 200-300 range for quite a few weeks now which is what I wrote. Unfortunately, I don’t think we’ll be seeing days like that for quite some time.

I pray I’m wrong.

I have no clue. I just found it interesting. My shul isn't using it, and based on some current events, I wouldn't trust them even if they did.

Considering the 7 day average is below where it was 1.5 weeks ago I wouldn't call this a significant rise. This can always change drastically over the next few days, that's why I said it's very concerning and should be watched.

There was one, but it got out of hand and politics forced it into the shul.

ETA: I didn't go to that one while it was around, as the standards were questionable and my situation at the time didn't allow for those risks.

In Florida's current situation, I'm personally not comfortable, but I'd be thrilled if all indoor minyanim here were keeping those standards.
