Cold Covid - part the twentieth, version 5

Well, we get a testable prediction from the CDC

An ensemble forecast from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published Wednesday predicts that over 62,000 more people could die from Covid-19 over the next four weeks.

Let's keep track from week to week. Here's the count as of 12 January

842,754

Here's the count as of today, 19 January

857,672

Here's the count as of today, 26 January

874,002

Here's the count as of today, 2 February (Groundhog Day, of course)

891,485

Here's the count as of today, 9 February

911,740

So, an increase of 68,986 deaths since 12 January. Jackpot!! And, keep in mind that we've not yet worked through the record (nearly 4 times) hospitalizations. More yet to come.
